By Sean Sullivan
(Tranche Cellars Chardonnay Columbia Gorge) An aromatically compelling wine with corn silk, sweet fruit notes, and mineral. The palate is rich with tremendous viscosity and depth without bringing all of the weight that often comes along with it. One of the finer examples I’ve had from Washington. 100% Chardonnay. Aged 11 months in French oak (35% new). 598 cases produced. (Wine Enthusiast review to be published once wine is submitted).

A really nice WA Chardonnay. Probably the best I can recall.
Lovely aromas and the palate was complex yet light. It didn't have the weight I associate with oaked Chardonnay in WA. Nicely done and could have gone for much longer in my cellar.
Would buy again.

This was absolutely wonderful. Lots of white floral notes with stone fruit effervescent. This bottle showed no signs of aging, and drank well over 4 hours. Loved this win, alas I have no more.

The fruit appeared to have been fading, but it retained a nice balance, with supporting acid and a touch of oak for texture. My guess is that I might have enjoyed this more a year or two ago, but it was still good. Probably in the upper echelon of WA Chardonnay.

At $15 or less, this is a great value. Appears to me in an older-world style, still decently fresh even at the present age. Though some (old) wood is there it's not new-oak vanilla treacle. Even veering towards green apple, with slight oxidative notes that add a very nice complexity. Overall, a nice weekday bottle.

Enjoyed this bottle, lots of sweet white fruit, a buttery component, reasonable acidity to balance, and some almond on the finish. Nice complement to my shrimp scampi.
