August 21, 2013 - Initial smell of lime rind, opens up to Granny Smith apple, pineapple and a touch of vanilla. Citrusy initial taste, ending with key lime pie aftertaste. Very acidic

July 11, 2013 - Very nice citrus aroma with a slight buttery flavor with pineapple, apple, and quince on the palate. Slightly sweet to the taste with good body.

May 25, 2013 - Exploring the Walla Walla Valley; 5/24/2013-5/27/2013 (Walla Walla, WA): Mostly oak related aromas (toasted oak, vanilla) with some tree fruit as well. Fuji apple and melon on the palate, with some acid to balance.

February 23, 2013 - An elegant, floral Washington chardonnay. Seriously sweet nose, with white flowers and orchard fruits; creamy orchard fruit flavors (especially pears), good acidity, with creme brulee and lemons and more flowers; serious minerals through the midpalate (cream soda), and a long zesty finish, with melons at the end. Not a pop and pour - it needs to open up, and best if not over-chilled.
