PLANTED IN 1973 ON A SOUTHEAST-FACING SLOPE ON THE UNDERWOOD MOUNTAIN, AN EXTINCT VOLCANO HIGH ABOVE THE COLUMBIA RIVER, THIS VINEYARD BEARS ROOT IN DEEP VOLCANIC ASH. AT 1000FT ELEVATION, THIS WINDY, COLD SITE LIES ON THE WET WESTERN EDGE OF THE COLOMBIA GORGE AVA. OWN-ROOTED AND DRY FARMED, THE OLD WENTE CLONE CHARDONNAY FROM THIS SITE IS EXCEPTIONAL.
THE WINE FROM THE VINEYARD WAS FERMENTED IN A SINGLE NEUTRAL BARREL AND FEWER THAN 25 CASES WERE PRODUCED.
