The Yakima Valley AVA, renowned for its varied microclimates and well-draining soils, offers an exceptional setting for cultivating Chardonnay. In the 2022 vintage, the region’s signature warm days and cool nights created ideal ripening conditions, preserving vibrant acidity while allowing full flavor development. Our winemaking approach—a thoughtful balance of stainless steel and oak aging, paired with partial malolactic fermentation—intentionally avoids the overt buttery notes typical of some California styles. The result is a Chardonnay that is structured, refined, and layered with complexity, offering a true expression of Columbia Valley terroir and the classic elegance of this noble white grape.
