2018 SIXTO 'Frenchman Hills' Chardonnay Columbia Valley
$49.95
Golden-hued, beautifully aromatic and inviting from the first sip, then rewarded with passion fruit, apple blossom, pie crust, and gunpowder in a kaleidoscope of flavor. Medium-bodied with an understated suggestion of richness that brings this single-vineyard to a resounding crescendo.

Lots of white peaches and cooked apples with honey and lilac undertones. It’s full-bodied yet remains so lively and layered with some notes of cookie and apple skin at the end. Some notes of licorice and aniseed here, too.
