Wine Each Week: 2016 Columbia Winery Chardonnay


Chardonnay is the most popular wine, white or red in the U.S. Always has been. Yes, there are luxurious examples well over $50, but the bulk of wine sales are not in that price range. So this 2016 Chardonnay not only gets the price right, it also get Chardonnay right. I’ve had multiple vintages of this wine and it has never disappointed me. Made of Chardonnay with 2% Viognier and 1% Muscat for a delicate, floral nose, this stainless steel fermented wine offers notes of Anjou pear, red delicious apple, tropical fruits, honeysuckle, brown-spiced vanilla, summertime flowers and a mild but bright acidity. A terrific wine at an exceptional price.
ORIGIN: Columbia Valley AVA, Washington State
PRICE: $14/ 750ML
ALCOHOL: 13.8%
