Christopher Michael Chardonnay
Washington Chardonnay, Oregon hands, honest value in every bottle.
The story behind Christopher Michael
Christopher Michael Chardonnay comes from brothers Eric Christopher Harms and Ryan Michael Harms, who founded the label in 2009 out of Oregon's Willamette Valley. The winemaking team works as Northwest Winemakers, and the Chardonnay grapes are pulled from Washington's Horse Heaven Hills and Yakima Valley AVAs, including fruit from the family owned McNary Vineyard.
Warm days along the Columbia River build ripe tropical and stone fruit; cool desert nights hold the acidity clean. A neutral oak regimen keeps it away from the over oaked butter bomb style, so the wine stays crisp and bright. We have poured this kind of value Chardonnay across our Commack counter for years.
