a lovely counterpoint to phelps creek's estate reserve chardonnay, this comes from just across the river, sourced from a vineyard on the washington side of this two-state ava. it got the full malolactic, fermented in french oak treatment, and shows plenty of pleasing barrel toast and spice. the fruit mixes hints of peach and melon with a lemon drop core, and finishes with a lick of butterscotch.
