Conner Lee Chardonnay
100% Chardonnay. Crafted from Conner Lee in the Columbia Valley. Conner Lee is a sustainably farmed vineyard with varied soil types, which contribute complexity to the wine. It was harvested early in the mornings of September 1st. Upon arrival at the winery, the Chardonnay was pressed, fermented, and aged entirely in stainless steel to focus on the purity of fruit. After seven months of aging, this wine was bottled in March 2022.
Tasting Notes
"The medium-yellow Conner Lee Chardonnay opens with
stone fruit and citrus aromas, in addition to baked
apple, salted brioche, hints of vanilla cream, and caramel.
Swirling brings ripe orchard fruit flavors, lemon peel, and
crème brûlée, all framed by floral and mineral nuances.
The mouthfeel is energetic and very well structured,
showcasing bright acidity and a chewy texture. The wine
ends with beautiful minerality and a touch of salinity. An
old-world style Chardonnay that you can drink now or in
the next 6 years. "
