Unlike any Chardonnay I've had in Washington. The closest wine that I've had to a very good Sonoma coast Chard. Better yet, Chalk Hill, only made in Walla Walla.

Super creamy texture but retains bright granny apple flavor and bright acid. Kernel present even though all neutral oak. Soft. Beautiful chard.

Old vine chard from French Creek vineyard. Rich and unctuous with pleasant phenolic grip and balancing acidity.

35 year old vines here from French creek vineyard in Yakima valley. No oak very fresh green apple and lemon drop candy lovely concentration and richness. A good amount of ripe fruit on the tongue good richness the 11 months in neutral barrels with a long fresh Chablis like finish, finish 45+. Excellent+
