2007 JV Estate Chardonnay

Wine Overview:

This Chardonnay comes from our estate plantings of Dijon clone vines. The wine exhibits fresh, crisp and ripe fruit; a beautiful expression of our Chardonnay.

Vintage Notes:

The 2007 vintage was warm and dry during the first half, with rains coming later. We harvested the majority of our fruit prior to the rains, which resulted in nice ripe fruit with an excellent profile.

Harvest Notes:

The Chardonnay for this wine was harvested on September 25, 2007 prior to the rains coming to Oregon vineyards.

Winemaking Notes:

Our 2007 JV Chardonnay was fermented in stainless steel tanks, slowly and at a cool temperature to enhance the delicate aromatics. This resulted in Chardonnay which offers crisp fresh acidity and a clean palate.

Tasting Notes:

Ripe melon and spice lead into a palette of pear, mineral and citrus. The crisp and refreshing finish is complemented with brisk acidity. Our JV Chardonnay is the perfect complement to the summers in Oregon.
