Celilo Vineyard Chardonnay

Love the expression of both terrior and fruit coming from the Celilo Vineyard. Neatly situated at the lip of the Columbia River in the cool Columbia Gorge where Washington and Oregon meet. Striking acidity that is approaching exuberant but holds itself well with the dominant ripe tropical fruit. Crisp and velvety with some subtle "malo". Neutral oak which is more perceivable near room temp still shows a great deal of restraint. Definitely one of the more fascinating Chards I've had in a long time and I can't wait to see what depth age brings to this wine. @Matt Austin

Very individual, with great acidity, integrated fruits, and a pleasing restraint.

Celilo vineyard in the Gorge, pretty and minerally, plus I'm a sucker for that lift from dissolved CO2. Nice work Michael.

Rising star of WA.

Not usually a fan of Chardonnay, but this one is changing my mind. Very good.

My favorite domestic chardonnay these days. Crisp, minerally, like northern burgundy.
