Chardonnay - Celilo Vineyard

Chardonnay - Celilo Vineyard Wine Details
Price:

Description: Panther Creek's only Washington wine comes from arguably the finest Chardonnay vineyard in the Northwest. Celilo sits on the south face of Underwood Mountain overlooking the Columbia River. The fruit is distinctive, and Celilo's "terroir" comes through clearly in this crisp, yet richly textured Chardonnay. Layers of lemon zest, minerals, apples and beeswax swirl through the nose, and in the mouth, pears, peaches and lemons are made even more mouth-watering by the zippy acidity. Our Celilo Chardonnay was harvested September 29, 2003, and was barrel fermented and aged in 20% new French oak, with the balance in neutral French barrels. The 300 case production was bottled September 7, 2004, and will be released April 1, 2005.
