Disruption Chardonnay

chardonnay 2017

Our 2017 Chardonnay is crafted from two of Washington’s best vineyard sources: the Evergreen and Sundance vineyards. These sites offer a dichotomy of climates, producing grapes with two very different flavor profiles. The cooler Evergreen fruit is aromatic with bright flavors and a ripping acid structure. Sundance is warmer, producing ripe, fruit-forward, tropical flavors. The Evergreen juice sees a touch of 25% new French oak. The already rich Sundance juice was vinified in stainless steel. The finished blend produced a beautifully balanced and delicious wine. On the nose, breathe in aromas of tropical fruit and apple blossom. Flavors of juicy pineapple and toasty vanilla dance in this rich, layered wine. The touch of new French oak adds notes of baking spice and cardamom.

FOOD PAIRING: Enjoy it with a dish of fresh fish and veggies or on its own as an aperitif.

COMPOSITION: 100% Chardonnay

"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."

"best buy"

"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."
