This vintage of White Salmon Chardonnay is right in line with the Devona style. It has a pretty, bright and aromatic nose of white spring blossoms, fresh apple, and a hint of coconut shavings. The mouth is clean and fresh, complex and balanced, and the finish is mouth-coating and long...more

This release is the very first for this wine and we are excited about it! The personality of this Pinot Noir is delicate and opulent, feminine and complex, pretty and balanced, a classic Oregon Pinot Noir from a cooler region.

A creamy mid-palate with nice acidity to balance makes this a beautiful food wine. It has weight, complexity, and balance, all brought together in a harmonious blend...more
