An Avalon favorite, Brian O'Donnell balances ripe fruit flavors of pear, apple, and white peach with a brilliant crisp minerality and lilting freshness.
Oregon Chardonnay is our best kept secret! Many wineries abandoned it over the past 10 years as they jumped on the Pinot Gris bandwagon but a handful of us stubborn stalwarts persisted. Since 2004, our Chardonnay has been 100% estate grown from our two acre Dijon clone vineyard planted in 1999. This vineyard sits on a steep south-west facing hillside that soaks up the afternoon sun and promotes slow, even ripening. - Brian
