This well balanced wine reflects the superb growing conditions of the Columbia Valley, bringing loads of varietal character to play off great, toasty flavors from French oak barrel aging. Sourced from the Stillwater Creek Vineyard in the high elevation of the Frenchman Hills and the warmer location of Lonesome Springs in lower Yakima Valley AVA.

Tasting Notes
Fruit from Stillwater Creek and Lonesome Springs Vineyards makes this Chardonnay an excellent expression of the outstanding terroir of Washington State. Fruit notes of poached pear, bright quince, and a hint of peaches and cream are complemented by butterscotch, vanilla, and soft, toasty oak.

Serving Suggestions
Enjoy with shellfish, creamy sauces and spaghetti with sausage marinara.
