Stillwater Creek Vineyards-Royal Slope AVA

92 Points-The Wine Panel

Chardonnay is a winemaker’s grape. When introduced to oak barrels, all that lush pear and citrus round out into lemon chiffon pie, caramelized like crème brûlée. Baking spices of nutmeg and clove tip this towards a peach crisp finish screaming for a rich, buttery side of seafood. Scallops, crab cakes, triple cream cheese. Done.

"The judges enjoyed this medium versus-full bodied Chardonnay - it's delicious and very balanced. Rather than being over-oaked and buttery, this is a much more lean style with just enough oak. Yes, it was barrel-fermented, but in neutral barrels, and doesn't have that deep dark gold color, but more of a pale yellow. Expect notes of yellow apples, white peach, and stone fruit, with a pleasant, soft finish. And easy drinking Chard that could bring some back to this varietal." The Wine Panel

There is a reason Chardonnay is the most popular wine on earth!

Tasting notes

This 2016-barrel fermented Chardonnay from famed Stillwater Creek Vineyard starts with a pleasing balance of pineapple, lemon and citrus aromas. Richly textured with smooth flavors of tropical fruit, melon, honey and lemon curd into a crisp finish.  Perfect with fresh Pacific Northwest seafood, chicken and hand crafted cheeses.
