Alternating cool and warm weather brought about an exceptional 2004 vintage for white wines.  As a result, we were able to craft an intensely flavorful, full bodied, yet very elegant Chardonnay. Shades of straw with the sweet summer aroma of honeysuckle and lemon/lime greet your senses. Bright with mineral and tangy flavors, yet with a generous mouth feel of just-ripe pineapple, lemon, and pear.  Spice and toast from out wonderful Burgundian barrels balance the acidity, ending the creamy smooth finish with lingering spice.

Impressively fragrant nose showing pear, candy and dried apricot aromas. Big mouthfeel with apple blossom, mineral and citruses flavors. Good acids give freshness, crispness, and a clean finish to this wine while the fruity aromas enhances its fullness.

Food and wine are meant to be enjoyed together and this wonderful unoaked Chardonnay is no exception. Try this with grilled halibut and mango salsa, fresh lemon and herb risotto, or mandarin orange and chicken salad stuffed pitas. Santé!

The nose on this beautiful wine is alive with so many aromas it is hard to know where to start.  The floral aromas of orange blossom and rose petals fills your senses, followed by peach, pear, lychee and lemon grass.  In the month you experience honeydew, apricot and the sweetness of cotton candy with an almond finish.

Our 2004 Riesling stylishly illustrates the potential of Washington State for world class white wines in cooler vintages. The nose is vibrant with inviting flint, citrus, lemon sorbet, coconut, rhubarb and honeysuckle aromas. In the mouth, kiwi and pineapple flavors are nicely framed by a lively acidity. The beautiful finish extends with graceful Granny Smith apple nuances. This Riesling offers an interesting combination of styles: very powerful and generous flavors typical of the new world and also a graceful restraint reminiscent of the old world.
