Chardonnay

Winemakers Notes:
Chinook’s Chardonnay grapes are grown by two multi-generation Yakima Valley vineyard families who sell us their ‘old vine’ Chardonnay – truly OLD vines. The winegrape pioneering families Carter & denHoed planted these vines in the 1970’s to provide for the emerging wineries in Yakima Valley. Fruit from these vineyards results in flavors in the wine reminiscent of tropical fruits (pineapple) & Granny Smith apples. These flavors were amplified by aging in lightly toasted oak barrels, which added a subtle vanilla aroma
