Selective harvest followed by manual triage. Subsequent maturation for six months in 90% first-use French oak.
A fantastic white Bordeaux blend showing grapefruit, fresh blossom, honey, and well-integrated roasted characters. Juicy and well structured, with lovely flow and minerality.
The Columbia Valley appellation is situated in the central and southern part of Washington State. It is the state's biggest AVA, covering one third of Washington's total area. The grapes for this Chaleur Blanc come from the Boushey, Sagemoor, Klipsun, Phinny Hill and
Conner Lee vineyards.
