Winemaker's Comments
Some of the very best Chardonnays in Washington State are grown in the slightly cooler growing conditions of the Yakima Valley and in the northern latitudes of the Columbia Valley. The Schmitt and Oasis Vineyards (both in Yakima Valley) provide nice tropical fruit notes, while Evergreen Vineyard (latitude 47 on the Columbia River) contributes crisp acidity and minerality
Tasting Notes
Our Heritage Chardonnay presents inviting aromas of Asian pear, yellow apple, melon, citrus blossom, and starfruit. Balanced and bright in the mouth, it features a classic expression of brioche and lemon oil, underpinned with pronounced minerality. Flavors of fresh apricot and nuances of nutmeg add interest and carry the wine through to a flavorful, elegant finish.
