Woodward Canyon
Washington State Chardonnay
Washington, USA
Woodward Canyon has gained a national reputation for producing high quality Chardonnay. This great new release, the 2017 Woodward Canyon ‘Washington State’ Chardonnay, is sourced from a host of great vineyards across the state. The wine was aged in a small percentage of new French oak prior to bottling. Ironically the wine was bottled on my birthday in May, 2018. The nose takes on a ton of appeal with roasted pineapple, toasty oak, Pink Lady apple and brioche aromatics. The palate shows a wonderful tension, astringency and richness. Gravenstein apple, brioche, and Meyer lemon creme brûlée flavors all strut their stuff in the glass. This is a gorgeous wine that has some good cellaring potential. Drink 2019-2029-

If you aren’t digging into the contemporary jazz scene in London right now, you are missing out on some of the best music being produced. This is from Ezra Collective and wears strong influence from both Afro-Beat music and spiritual jazz. Chardonnay from Woodward Canyon is positively hypnotic with a little air. Perfect balance of fresh acid & powerful fruit. A great Sunday evening.
