This wine shows flavors of pears, apples and lemon.  The finish is light with a touch of oak.  Nice balance between fruit, acidity, and oak.

 

This Chardonnay is a "true Oregon Appellation" experience.  We source the best chardonnay grapes for this wonderful "blend of Oregon appellations".   The nose opens up clean and refreshing.  The middle has Asian Pears and Plantains.  The finish is light and smokey.  This vintage is lighter on the oak finish than the 2005 vintage.  If you ask Eric (our operations manager), he thinks this is one of the BEST LaCreole Chardonnay's that Steve has made today!  Try it for yourself.

2005 Vintage was a :
10 time award winner, and a house favorite as well.

Enjoy with a variety of Chicken and Pork dishes.
