Chardonnay production at Colene Clemens began in 2013 with purchased fruit. We have since planted 6 acres on our estate, and 2021 marks the fifth vintage sourced entirely from our estate property. Over the course of 11 months in barrel, we strive to build texture, flavor, and body from the lees and barrel time, creating a wine that is supple and layered with firm underlying acidity.
Named after Victoria’s daughter and Colene’s granddaughter, Adriane is an estate cuvée composed of specifically selected vineyard blocks that possess deep, concentrated flavors and a persistent finish
Rich and lush with tones of blackberry, cranberry, and dark cherry, this wine generously coats the palate. Layered and intense, this pinot noir has an ever-changing array of fruit and spice notes through the finish that compels you to sip again to witness the evolution of time and air.
Back to the Estate! After contracting for fruit for our Rosé the last three vintages we are excited to announce that we have gone back to our roots and returned production to our Estate vineyard! This means that we are now officially back to being 100% Estate Grown across our total production and more importantly it brings back all the delicious elements and qualities that drew you into our original rose bottlings! In a word, there is nothing like control over your own viticulture. The Rosé has come home and that’s where its going to stay!

The 2019 ‘Victoria’ is a gorgeous effort that is already nicely evolved. Sour cherry and black raspberry combine with salty soils aromatically. The freshness and finesse is outstanding as this is ripe and juicy, red fruit-driven wine that is best enjoyed over the next decade. Drink 2022-2034

The 2022 Dopp Creek opens with a bright, red-fruited nose, like a sun-warmed ripe raspberry. On the palate, this wine is focused and bright, with a supple texture and soft tannins that showcase flavors of red fruit, a dash of warm spice, and hints of dark chocolate and coffee beans towards the finish. Drink now, or if you can wait, watch this wine age gorgeously over the next five years.

The 2022 Margo is bursting with vibrant darker fruit flavors, predominantly black cherry and raspberry, this wine offers a plush, broad palate with velvety tannins. Enjoy its lively character now, or allow it to develop complexity with age.
