Overview: Gravel Road Chardonnay is a blend of our three favorite Chardonnay vineyards in the Willamette Valley: Gran Moraine, Marsh Estate, and Knudsen Vineyards. The first two vineyards grow in low to mid elevation, in sandstone-shale derived soils that provide a lovely creamy texture. While Knudsen Vineyards is located at a high elevation in volcanic derived soil that adds a racy minerality to this unique Chardonnay.
Tasting Notes: Smooth, rich and quickly accessible, this overdelivers for the cost. The lush, ripe fruits pull together pear, peach, melon and light tropical flavors. But this is no fruit salad of a wine; there are textural highlights with sandalwood, sassafras and cinnamon spices, finishing with a hint of honey.
Pairing: Wild mushroom risotto
