Winemaker Bob Bertheau Notes
My goal with the Columbia Valley Chardonnay is to make it a pleasurable,
food-friendly Chardonnay. This is a fresh, soft style of Chardonnay with
bright sweet citrus fruit character and subtle spice and oak nuances. We
blend Chardonnay grapes from vineyards all over Washington’s Columbia
Valley to make this a complex, interesting wine. The sur lie aging gives it
an appealing softness.
