This is a delicious white wine from Walla Walla Valley. Very lightly oaked, with wood and smoked bacon notes on the nose. Very interesting, intriguing and tasty.
Showing citrus, lemons, limes, light grapefruits, green apples, spices, light oak, light vanilla, white pepper, minerals, herbs and light vegetables.
Dry on the palate with a spicy finish.
This Single Vineyard has good potential. Would be nice to see how this evolves in the next couple of years.
This Rhône blend is better when not very chilled. Showing nice complexity. Crisp and refreshing.
Good by itself or with food. I had it by the pool.

This is a nice and interesting Rhône blend from Walla Walla Valley in Washington State.
Spicy with nice complexity and a tangy finish. The nose is fruit forward, yet the palate is much earthier, which is always interesting.
This Single Vineyard is tangy and refreshing. I loved smelling on it for a while. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years.
Good by itself as a sipping wine and good with food. Would pair nicely with oysters. I had it by the pool and paired it with Brie cheese.

I just want to leave my nose in the glass, but I know I need to drink this wine, too! White flowers, merengue, pear, stone fruit, melon, and straw make for a heady perfume. Elegant nectarine and melon flavors.
