San Crispin Field is located in the Southwest section of White Salmon Vineyard. Closely planted vines of Malbec, Syrah, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are hand-tended and harvested. In this true field blend, the varieties are co-fermented in a prime example of wine made in the vineyard. Aged for 22 months in neutral french oak. This wine reflects its cool origin with bright acidity. Dominated by rich cherry, white pepper and dried fruit with integrated oak and soft tannins.

Ages with GraceWe grow a unique clone of Chardonnay that truly reflect the Burgundian heritage. Its roots reach deep into well-drained soils, traversed with lenses of volcanic rocks. The vines are nestled in a relatively warmer, less windy nook edged with a massive stonewall and surrounded by a fir and oak woodlot. The yeast lees are stirred to create lushness in the mouth, to naturally inhibit oxidation and round the edges of the wine. This a great opportunity to explore the aging potential of Chardonnay 14 years after harvest. On that note, this wine has begun its elegant decline. It is on sale for $10 per bottle or $90 per case.
