Tasting Notes
This 2022 Chardonnay is a distinctive blend of 80% Washington State Chardonnay and 20% Minnesota-grown Frontenac Gris, crafted to balance ripe fruit character with textural elegance. Partial malolactic fermentation lends a creamy softness, while the blend retains vibrant freshness. The result is a layered white wine with richness, lift, and a uniquely regional signature.
Aroma
The nose opens with inviting aromas of apricot and baked pear, followed by warm notes of butterscotch from partial MLF. Subtle oak character from limited barrel time rounds out the bouquet.
Palate
On the palate, this Chardonnay is medium-bodied with a soft, rounded texture balanced by a thread of acidity. Apricot and orchard fruit flavors lead, supported by subtle creaminess and a hint of butterscotch. The Frontenac Gris component adds a touch of aromatic lift and citrus-driven brightness, creating tension and depth. The finish is smooth, gently warming, and persistent.
Food Pairing
Ideal with roasted chicken, creamy pasta dishes, or grilled salmon with a citrus butter sauce. It also pairs beautifully with butternut squash risotto or a cheese board featuring brie, aged cheddar, or gruyère. The wine’s texture and richness make it a flexible partner across a range of savory dishes.
Aging Potential
This Chardonnay is ready to drink now, but will continue to evolve over the next year. With time, expect the butterscotch and apricot notes to deepen, and the wine’s creamy texture to become even more integrated and refined.
