2017 Three Rivers Reserve Chardonnay, Columbia Valley
Winemaker Notes
Sourced exclusively from Gamache Vineyard in the Columbia
Valley, our 2017 Reserve Chardonnay welcomes you with aromas
of brioche, Bartlett pear and hints of Jasmine blossom. The palate
fully delivers with a creamy, viscous mouthfeel that highlights the
fruit flavors and is complemented by a vein of pleasant minerality.

Production Notes
2017 started on the same track as 2016: bud break occurred a bit
ahead of normal and was followed by a hot summer. The warm
summer months led to cooler conditions in September and
October. We picked the grapes for our Chardonnay on
September 26th.
