Columbia Crest Grand Estates Chardonnay is a blend of 99% Chardonnay and 1% Riesling. A white wine opens with an intense aroma of apples and melons, joined by signature characters of creme brulee, caramelized sugar, and butterscotch. Ripe orchard fruit flavors are joined by creamy, buttery notes and balanced by lively acidity, creating a rich yet fresh wine.Founded in 1983, Columbia Crest has grown from a small winery in a relatively unknown wine region to one of the most significant wineries in the U.S. and a major force behind Washington state's emergence as a world-class wine region. This Columbia Valley Chardonnay has bottled at 13.5% alcohol by volume. Enjoy!
