Whale Light 2023 Chardonnay Columbia Valley, Washington

Washington is no stranger to the wonders of the sea. In addition to being one of the world’s most scenic and biologically rich inland seas, making it a prime place for whale watching, the Salish Sea plays a vital role in the complex geological history of the region. Vineyards here span a vast array of soil types, which results in diverse wine styles. This fruit enjoyed long daylight hours throughout the season in the warm climate of Washington’s Columbia Valley. This allowed for the development of ripe fruit flavors and a smooth creaminess. Our Whale Light Chardonnay captures the complexity and character of this region through its classic style with layers of juicy tropical fruits and notes of apple and pear with a silky mouth feel from the first sip to the lingering finish. A whisper of sweet oak aging unites aromas, flavors, mouthfeel and finish. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.
