Served blind and is a dead ringer for a white burg. The 1st note from the nose is all crushed rocks and minerals, followed by honey, wild flowers, fresh cut vanilla bean, wheat/hay, candied ginger. Beautiful weight on the palate showing presence but glides with good acids on the finish. Very impressed by this wine.

The bouquet presents mineral notes, (dry) chamomile honey essences, dry fall leaves, earth, merengue, varietal characteristics (pear essence in particular), fruit (citrus), and oak imparted spice. The palate reveals a harmonious balance of minerals, seductive textural weight, (dry) honeyed notes, herbal teas, oak, and acid. The wine's low alcohol content allows the layered mineral and earth elements to show beautifully. A remarkable Washington Chardonnay, among the most enjoyable I have tasted. 93-94.
