2022 Brick House ‘Cascadia’ Ribbon Ridge Chardonnay

JD94 Medium yellow-hued, the 2022 Chardonnay Cascadia is gorgeously perfumed with notes of jasmine, lemon-lime, savory wet stones, and fresh herbs. Medium-bodied and mouthwatering, it’s ripe and elegant, with a lovely note of fresh pears. 220 cases were produced.
Estate Notes: Fresh fruit is fully pressed and run into a variety of French oak barrels where it is allowed a native fermentation under the careful eye of the winemaker. A majority of the barrels are seasoned from use year after year – the percentage of new wood is kept decidedly low. The resulting wine completes malolactic fermentation and remains on its gross lees for a full year, after which it is moved to tank for another six months when it is bottled by hand in the farm winery.
