THE WINE
The 2017 Disruption Chardonnay is crafted from carefully selected grapes from two of Washington's finest vineyard sources: the Evergreen and Sundance Vineyards. These sites represent a dichotomy in climates, producing grapes with two very different flavor profiles. The cooler Evergreen Vineyard’s fruit is aromatic with bright flavors and a solid acid structure. The  Sundance Vineyard has a warmer climate which leads to ripe, fruit forward, tropical flavors. Together, the finished blend offers excellent balance and freshness. On the nose, aromas of tropical fruit and toasty vanilla. Flavors of apple blossom and juicy pineapple dance on the palate in this rich, layered wine. A kiss of new French oak adds notes of baking spice and cardamom.

"This wine is nearly two-thirds Evergreen Vineyard fruit, aged in neutral oak. The balance comes from Sundance Vineyard, aged in stainless steel. The aromas offer notes of green apple, lemon, squash and the underside of a pineapple, along with a sense of chalky minerality. The palate is medium-plus bodied with kiwi and pineapple flavors. It's loaded with fruit, but also brings a fine sense of acidity and balance."

"Most of this wine comes from esteemed Evergreen Vineyard in the Ancient Lakes appellation. It charms with aromas of green apple, Bosc pear and mineral. The flavors are medium bodied and pure, with a lightly creamy feel and a zing of acidity stitching it all together. The balance is spot-on."
