- Made entirely from small cluster clones, Dijon clones, grafted onto devigorating rootstocks, gives this wine ripe fruit aromas of melon, fig, and pear. Spice scents of vanilla and clove further complex the fruit aromas. The flavors are a rich, viscous vehicle carrying ripe melon, toasted hazelnut, and sweet oak. Expect a very long fresh fruit finish from this predictably age-worthy wine.

- The color is one of green straw. The aromas are a subtle mix of ripe apple and butter, followed by honey, toasted hazelnut, vanilla bean, and lemon custard. Ripe apple, butterscotch, fresh sweet casaba melon flavors fill the mouth and continue on, ending in a long, crisp finish. As with our previous vintages of Willamette Valley Chardonnay, there is a harmonious integration between the ripe fruit flavors and the French oak.
