INOX, 100% stainless steel fermented and aged Chardonnay, is a perfect example of the range of this varietal. Soft and elegant aromatics of white flower, honeysuckle, and lychee are heightened with a hint of fresh citrus zest. The palate is delicate with a soft weight that carries a vibrant fruit throughout the finish. The 2022 growing season was full of surprises, which pushed us to explore new regions. The vintage kicked off with a cold and wet spring that turned worrisome when an unusually late season freeze event impacted lower elevation Chardonnay plantings throughout the region that were already experiencing bud break. Fortunately, decades of winemaking experience and relationships throughout the Pacific Northwest to find a quality fruit source in our time of need. Grower partners helped us identify vineyard sites in the Columbia Valley with conditions akin to Willamette Valley, which resulted in balanced, elegant fruit with concentrated flavors. 92pts Decanter
