Columbia Crest Chardonnay Grand Estate 2020

Nestled alongside the Columbia River in eastern Washington, Columbia Crest winery opened its doors in the heart of the acclaimed Horse Heaven Hills in 1983.
This wine is 100% Chardonnay of which 36% of the blend was fermented in stainless steel tanks with no malolactic fermentation to showcase the bright acidity in the wine. The balance underwent weekly stirring in barrel allowing the wine to build complexity and structure.
Opens with fresh fruit aromas of baked apples and pears, joined by signature characters of cr?me brulee and caramel. Ripe orchard fruit flavors are joined by creamy, buttery notes and balanced by lively acidity.
Pair with chicken salad with apples and brie cheese, crab cakes, and herb crusted pork chops.
