Brilliant pale yellow in color, our 2021 100% Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs opens with delicate aromas of white peaches, pears, and brioche. Fine bubbles and a generous mousse highlight flavors of the same, along with green apples and citrus. The mouth-watering finish features hints of lime zest and a touch of crisp minerality. Pair this delightfully dry sparkling wine with raw oysters, fresh-picked crab, or nutty parmesan or asiago cheese.
100% Chardonnay
Our 2024 Albariño beautifully expresses the hallmarks of this varietal. Its brilliant light yellow color introduces intense aromas of nectarines and mandarin oranges, alongside the grape's characteristic botanical notes and a citrusy undertone hinting at apricot and peach. The palate mirrors these vibrant flavors, complemented by lime and subtle white peach, with a touch of body from the 2% Viognier. The finish is long and expressive, showcasing a distinct minerality that evolves into the classic citrus zest and salinity. This wine is a wonderful pairing for seafood risotto, shellfish in a light garlic and white wine broth, salty cheeses, or simply enjoyed chilled on a warm summer day.
Our 2024 SageCliffe Vineyard Chardonnay from the Ancient Lakes AVA is a vibrant yet full-bodied expression of this cooler-climate site. The wine opens with honeysuckle, citrus, and crisp apple, layered with hints of starfruit, white peach, and melon. Medium-plus in body with lively acidity, it balances freshness and richness beautifully. The palate is rounded by a subtle viscosity, offering flavors of caramel apple, straw, and toasted pastry, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish.
This versatile Chardonnay is ideal with quiche, ravioli in cream sauce, or lightly curried chicken and coconut rice.
Our 2024 Pinot Gris is once again sourced from Zillah Ranch in the Yakima Valley, a location known for its moderate daily heat and cool nights that allow this varietal to ripen slowly, enhancing flavor development while preserving acidity. The resulting wine is a brilliant pale gold and greets you with aromas of fresh peach and lemon, embodying a lively freshness. On the palate, it presents flavors of ripe pear and nectarine, evolving into a long, refreshing finish that features hints of citrus zest, light minerality, and lingering notes of pear. Compared to recent vintages, the 2024 is slightly leaner, yet still brimming with mouthwatering flavor. This delightful wine is perfect when enjoyed well chilled on a warm sunny day, paired with fresh seafood, such as grilled shrimp or scallops, zesty salads with citrus vinaigrette, or even light pasta dishes like lemon garlic spaghetti.
One of our more consistent blends from year to year, our 2024 Mélange Blanc opens with the now familiar
combination of aromas and flavors of melons, pears, honeycomb, and hints of tea from the Roussanne; stone fruits,
white flowers, citrus and minerality from the Viognier; and classic apples and creamy mouthfeel from the Chardonnay.
Crisp and agile on the palate, yet full-bodied from barrel fermentation, Mélange Blanc appeals directly to your inner
"white wine lover” and is a luscious accompaniment to dishes as varied as Duck Breast, Dungeness crab dip, or grilled
halibut.
