    Januik Winery
    2006 Chardonnay, Cold Creek Vineyard View Label
  • Appellation: Columbia Valley Januik Winery (Woodinville, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Mike Januik
  • While at Chateau Ste. Michelle, Mike Januik developed a strong following for this wine and liked it so much himself that he arranged to buy a few grapes for his own label after leaving the chateau in 1999. Ste. Michelle generously obliged. His deft hand with this fruit shows through once again in this bottling – a wine with structure, concentration and Cold Creek’s classic pear and citrus aromas and flavors.

    Domaine Ste. Michelle
    NV Blanc de Blanc
  • Appellation: Columbia Valley
  • Chardonnay Sparkling Wine Domaine Ste. Michelle (Woodinville, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Rick Casqueiro
  • “Sparkling wine is a wonderful yet often overlooked accompaniment to food. Bright acidity and effervescence cleanses the palate, while the delicate flavors compliment a wide array of dishes. The Cuvee made primarily of Chardonnay, exhibits essentially the same fruit profile of Chardonnay table wine. Try substituting Domaine Ste. Michelle Blanc de Blancs when you would typically serve a still Chardonnay.”

    Hedges Cellars
    2010 HIP Chardonnay
  • Appellation: Columbia Valley Hedges Cellars (Benton City, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Pete Hedges
  • The Independent Producers Chardonnay is as close to a Chablis style white as you can find on the west coast. The wine sees no oak, and is a true definition of terroir winemaking, highlighting the beautiful vineyards of Sagemoor Farms, specifically the Dionysus Vineyard. Independent Producers is a project directed by Christophe Hedges, bringing to the table some of the more compelling Columbia Valley AVA vineyard sites.

    2008 Un-Oaked Chardonnay View Label
  • Appellation: Columbia Valley Claar Cellars (Zillah, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Joe Hudon
  • Due to a rainy early spring 2008, the yield on the chardonnay was low, allowing for concentrated fruit flavors. The nose of this 100% stainless steel fermented Chardonnay reveals the true character of the variety with aromas of ripe Asian pear, hazelnuts, lime, green apple and banana. On the palate it shows a refined crisp acidity with layers of juicy pear flavors. The no-oak regimen gives to the palate the full fruitiness and minerality this vineyard is about. The finish is elegant and racy wit... ...read more

  • Winemaker: Joe Hudon
  • An elegant wine with both presence and delicacy. The complex ripe nose offers aromas of white flowers, pears and roasted nuts. On the palate it shows a luscious and soft texture implemented by a creamy fruity palate of yellow core fruits followed by a great minerality. Bright acids elongate the finish with hints of toast, nuts and exotic fruit zests.

    Gordon Brothers Cellars
    2009 Reserve Chardonnay
  • Organic - Made from 100% Organic Grapes
  • Appellation: Columbia Valley Gordon Brothers Cellars (Pasco, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Subtle notes of toasted oak mingle with aromas of roasted hazelnuts and pears. On the palate, cinnamon and cardamom mix playfully with flavors of lemon curd and vanilla bean. Bright acidity carries the wine through to a finish of white pepper and jasmine. This is an extremely well-structured wine that can hold its own with any entrĂ©es prepared with rich, butter-based sauces.

    Naked Winery
    2006 Naughty View Label
  • Appellation: Columbia Valley
  • Chardonnay Naked Winery (Hood River, OR) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: David Barringer
  • A cool and wet spring gave us more water in the ground and ultimately resulted in good vegetative growth. As the temperatures rose the rain held off resulting in a good balance of fruit ripeness and sugar levels, leading to lower alcohol levels. The 2005 Naughty continues with just the right balance of Oak to please the nose while remaining true to the crisp finish of Oregon Chardonnays. Up front white gooseberry with underlying vanilla and pear flavors are easy on the palate. A starter of Fettu... ...read more

  • Winemaker: Christophe Paubert
  • In making the 2006 Canoe Ridge Chardonnay, we blended barrel fermented lots with crisp tank fermented lots and promoted only partial malolactic fermentation. Barrel aging lasted for four months in 100 percent French oak, 10 percent of which was new. This wine is wonderfully fresh, aromatically as well as structurally. A mix of fruit and floral aromas are displayed in the nose, leading with pineapple, banana, citrus and floral notes. On the palate, the wine offers subtle oak characters and vivid... ...read more

    2010 Chardonnay View Label View Label
  • Appellation: Columbia Valley
  • Chardonnay Blend
  • Blend of Chardonnay, Grenache Blanc, Forgeron Cellars (Walla Walla, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Marie-Eve Gilla
  • We like to use multiple vineyards in our quest to produce our very unique, consistent, signature Chardonnay. By sourcing from many terroirs, some cooler and some warmer, we consistently craft the complex, rich, and full bodied yet deliciously crisp, refreshing Chardonnay we are so famous for. An unusually cool 2010 Spring & Summer lead into a consistently warm Fall, producing balanced, elegant wines with lower alcohol and higher acidity.
  • Acclaim: "David said it best: this Chardonnay is indeed beautiful. It's crisp and bright and even a bit floral but it really fills the mouth well with a great finish." Clive Pursehouse, The Oregon Wine Blog, November 2010
