Tasting Notes
Pour yourself a glass of our not-so-humbly named Shitbag Chardonnay and experience the cheeky charm that only Broken Trust Cellars can bottle. This Chardonnay is a testament to our "questionable" life choices and our excellent taste in grapes.
Nose: Take a whiff and let the playful rebellion of baking spices envelop you, thanks to our shamelessly indulgent oak aging. Entwined with the zesty spirit of Meyer lemon and the ripe, juicy charm of pear, this Chardonnay promises to tease and tantalize before you even take your first sip.
Palate: Dive into a vibrant splash of yellow peach, mingling boldly with exotic bursts of mango and a flirtatious wink of pineapple. As the tropical fiesta unfolds, whispers of caramel saunter in, a sweet reminder of our oak's cheeky contributions.
Finish: Savor the escape as each sip concludes with a long, luxurious caress of well-crafted bliss. This seamless finale, rich with a buttery texture and invigorating acidity, leaves you yearning for another taste of rebellion.
Sustainably sourced from the sun-drenched vines of the Columbia Valley, this Chardonnay not only brings the heat of long summer days but also embodies the cool composure of moderate nights. Enjoy our Shitbag Chardonnay and embrace its intricate layers, much like the best (and um...less than best) parts of your personality.
Pairing: Pairs well with honesty! Perfect with a bold, sharp cheese, your favorite greasy pizza, or a dinner date that might be out of your league, but you're going anyway (because you are, in fact, awesome). Whether you're indulging in a slice topped with everything or keeping it simple with classic pepperoni, this Chardonnay cuts through the richness with its crisp finish. Enjoy it on its own to muse over life’s ironic twists, or share a bottle with friends who appreciate a good wine with an even better story.
