"Apricots, oranges, mango crumble and a hint of camembert on the nose, followed by a full-bodied yet cool and lightly salty palate. Delicious now."

"The 2023 Washington State Chardonnay was barrel fermented and matured for six months in 20% new French oak. It has pure aromas of white peach, bruised apple and bread dough. The medium-bodied palate balances concentrated, savory flavors with fresh acidity, and it has a long, layered finish. 625 cases were made."

"Awesome Chardonnay notes of orchard fruits, toasted spice, white flowers, and hints of toasted hazelnuts emerge from the 2022 Chardonnay Washington State, a medium-bodied, pure, balanced Chardonnay that checks in with the top whites in the state."

"A clean and creamy chardonnay showing notes of apricots, orange curd, crushed hazelnuts and salted butter. It™s full-bodied but fresh and restrained. Composed finish. Drink now."

""A faintly tropical aroma that might be starfruit is accented by strong notes of freshly grated ginger, spun sugar and quince. It is an interesting aromatic set to ponder. The medium-bodied wine,s flavors of yellow apple, orange zest, roasted hazelnut and nutmeg glide along with a smooth texture and just enough acidity. ‡M.A. ""
