2018 Forgeron Chardonnay
This wine is crowd pleasing; fresh, vibrant, and expressive all in one. We chose the Celilo and Gamache Vineyards based on our long history of working the sites, their outstanding reputation, and our belief that when combined they express the great character of a Columbia Valley Chardonnay. The fruit was picked early in the day when the grapes were fresh with lively acidity, qualities that extend into the finished wine.
This bright and fresh Chardonnay has a beautiful bouquet of Persian lime, pineapple, and a bit of kiwi. Primarily fermented and aged in French Oak barrels, a smaller portion of this wine was put in stainless steel, providing an additional layer of complexity and offering a dose of bright acidity. Our Columbia Valley Chardonnay lights up your palate with rich vanilla, lemon zest, and a gentle kiss of oak. Pair with lemony shrimp and risotto.
