About the winery · Columbia Crest ›
Columbia Crest was founded in 1982 and describes itself as the first winery in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA. The producer focuses on Washington wines and has earned broad recognition for value-oriented, varietal-driven bottlings. Its Grand Estates tier is described by the winery as combining artisan winemaking with leading Washington vineyard sources to make wines that capture an authentic varietal expression. This Unoaked Chardonnay fits that idea with a crisp, stainless-steel style that emphasizes fresh fruit over oak.
