winemaker's notes:

"The warmth of the Wahluke Slope consistently produces Chardonnays with an appealing tropical fruit character. The 2006 bottling delivers pineapple, butterscotch, and vanilla aromas with notes of brown sugar and spice. The Indian Wells Chardonnay is soft and rich yet maintains a beautiful elegance. I like this wine with scallops, scampi or pasta with slightly richer sauces."
- Bob Bertheau, Winemaker

critical acclaim:

"This assertive Chardonnay leads with heady scents of caramelized apples and vanillin. The oak aromas recede on the palate, brightened by juicy pear flavors of impressive clarity; the oak and fruit, in the end, are finely integrated."

rating (9/28/2010):

if you're looking for a typical chard, this is not the one. No buttery finish, no full body, but a nice wine, more sauv blanc like, an easy, smooth, wine though.
rating (9/25/2010):
One of the best Chardonnays we've ever tasted! Thank you for offering it on your web site.
rating (9/25/2010):
Exactly the kind of chardonnay I enjoy - dominant oak and butter
