The 2010 Chardonnay was sourced from the winery's estate vineyard and the Celilo Vineyard and was aged in 20% new oak for 6 months. It displays a fragrant nose of poached pear, spiced apple, and hints of tropical fruit with the oak fully integrated. Creamy on the palate with the fruit nicely framed by the vibrant acidity of the 2010 vintage, it is likely to evolve for 1-2 years and drink well through 2017. -Jay Miller

Nectarine, quince and a hint of honey on the nose. Supple, sweet and dense, with rich, nicely concentrated flavors of stone fruits and spices. Well-balanced, smooth and juicy wine with a subtle, echoing finish.

Quite young and tight, with primary apple, melon and stone-fruit flavors, this is that rare domestic Chardonnay that surely will reward cellaring. With decanting it becomes creamier, with an aromatic lift of cinnamon and a thread of vanilla running through the toasty finish. A baby, but already delicious.
