(Woodward Canyon Chardonnay Washington State) Draws you into the glass with pear, candy corn, apple, spicy barrel notes, and a light nuttiness. The palate is medium bodied with vibrant fruit flavors, a lot of texture and depth, a lick of lemony acidity and a drawn out finish. Almost criminal to drink without pairing with crab cakes. 100% Chardonnay. Woodward Canyon Estate (71%) and Celilo vineyards. Aged in French Burgundy barrels (approximately 20% new). 14.1% alcohol. 873 cases produced.
