The Duck Pond Chardonnay 2014 is a lush and bright white wine. The nose displays notes of apple, vanilla, and cinnamon. This bouquet of bakery flavors leads into a rich, full-bodied palate. The mouthfeel is rich and luxurious, with a soft acidity. This wine would pair nicely with roast chicken, seafood, or hors d’oeuvres.

This Chardonnay was produced in the Columbia Valley, Washington, using grapes from the Desert Wind Vineyard. The vineyard is warm for the Columbia Valley, with soils that are shallow and rocky, producing excellent Chardonnay grapes.
