Aromas of Golden Delicious apple lead on the nose, followed by a pop of lemon curd and pineapple with inviting, rich layers of butterscotch and vanilla. Bright at the beginning, the palate is highlighted by mouthwatering acidity and flavors of classic Bartlett pear and vanilla bean, followed by a long, smooth finish.

A blend of three unique appellations, including Yakima Valley, Columbia Valley and Walla Walla Valley.
Winemaker Notes
Dropped by gravity straight into the press, the juice is pumped directly to barrel or tank and chilled, inoculated with Chardonnay 3079 yeast, primary fermentation started and finished, secondary fermentation started but completed to preferred taste, typically around 50% completion. All fermentation is done in a 58 degree Fahrenheit barrel room.
