VINTAGE
2002 was a classic growing
season in Washington State.
A dry Spring led to early
and complete flowering, resulting
in balanced ripeness at the
end of the season. Careful
attention was paid throughout
the entire growing season
to insure vineyard health
and predictable ripening.
In September daily walkthroughs
and sampling led to balanced
ripeness and acid levels.
WINEMAKING
Right after harvesting, grapes
were pressed and the juice
moved to stainless steel tanks.
After which, the must was
clarified and racked before
adding yeast. Juice was transferred
to French oak barrels for
a two-week warm fermentation.

COMMENTS
This golden Chardonnay’s
toasted pineapple nose mingles
with hints of pears and spice.
Rich and inviting, the 2002
Chardonnay fills the palate
with tropical fruit, toasted
oak and crisp acidity. Matched
with fish, chicken or pork
the 2002 Chardonnay is the
perfect accent to that special
meal.
