Our Wines


 

2008 Chardonnay

Straw-yellow in color, with lush aromas of baked apple, lemongrass, pea shoots, quince, pear and minerals. The luxurious notes of crème brule, lychee nut, lime and a long, silky finish that is deftly kept in balance by our cool weather acidity. It all comes together in a wine that will impress!

Our Winemaker Greg Bjornstad believes that care taken in the vineyard creates a beautiful wine in the bottle. His hands-on approach during the growing season is balanced by a philosophy
of allowing the true characteristics of the terroir to express themselves with minimal intervention during winemaking.
