Our 2008 Doc Stewart Vineyard Chardonnay was aged in 100% French oak, of which 45% was new oak. Aged sur lie for 10 months, it was stirred batonnage-style in order to enhance the texture and creaminess of the palate. Aromatically it exhibits honeycomb, lily, and vanilla, while the palate is rich, full, and smooth. 2007 vintage received 90 pts and was deemed the 6th best Washington State value white in 2009 by the Wine Spectator.
