Revelry Chardonnay

Revelry Chardonnay
Columbia Valley, Washington
2008

Jared Burns, owner and winemaker, was just in our restaurant this past Wednesday.  We were able to try some of his new stuff and also were given the ability to purchase an older vintage of his Chardonnay.  Jared’s wines are fast becoming the stars of the Washington wine industry.  His whole mantra is giving us amazing wines at amazing values, and he definitely succeeds. 

Tasting Notes:

Transparent pale gold. A light scent of pears appeals, with a back note of very subtle vanilla. Pears and white fruit on the palate, seems a bit soft on the first sip, but zippy acidity quickly segues in to provide a sturdy structure. Flavors remain consistent into a long, snappy lemon-zest finish.

Food Pairing:

The wine's light, fresh fruit and snappy acidity go with fish and seafood, especially snapper, corvina, and barramundi.
