This impressive Chardonnay was sourced from the Evergreen Vineyard and was fermented in French puncheons (20% new) that underwent 100% malolactic fermentation and monthly battonage. There are rich aromatics of butterscotch, bananas foster, crème brûlée, heavy whipping cream and hints of nutmeg and pineapple. There are appealing flavors of white peach, golden delicious apple, crème brûlée, heavy whipping cream and ripe banana. The minerality and texture are lovely, as is the fruit weight. This is truly one of the best of its kind in Washington. (Best 2017-2028) - April, 2017 (OB)
