TASTING FEATURES

Pure and racy, our barrel-fermented Chardonnay displays vibrant aromas of ripe pear, apple blossoms, honeysuckle and crème brûlée. Full-bodied and creamy, yet with a crisp assertive impression on the palate and a long stony
finish.
The steep south-facing hillside in DuBrul Vineyard yields grapes with unique flavours and structure.
Our Chardonnay block straddles the rocky, South-facing hillside and alluvial soils on the western edge.
Less vigorous soils lie on top of basalt and ancient Columbia River deposits of granitic rock.
