June 26, 2022 - Retail $13. Under screwcap. This is the second edition of this wine from the Aquilini family, relatively recent players in the Washington wine scene (they, among other significant holding, own the Vancouver Canucks). While the appellation is Columbia Valley, the vineyard is apparently just across the street from the Red Mountain AVA. Really good fruit on the nose with some citrus but mostly golden delicious apple. The palate is fruity, a bit creamy, but not at all oaky (7 months in stainless). I am guessing that there might be a touch of residual sugar, but it is by no means sweet, with decent acidity and an above-average finish. I am fairly certain this has gone through at least partial malolactic fermentation (thus the creaminess) so this falls somewhere between the much-maligned "cougar juice" and the rather austere (in my opinion) un-oaked Chardonnays that are rather prevalent. For around ten bucks? You betcha.
