The 2014 'Shirley Mays' Chardonnay by Dunham follows up their absolutely fantastic 2013 release. The wine was aged 50% in oak (50% new oak) while the rest was aged in stainless. The wine begins with aromatics reminiscent of creme brulee, toasted oak, roasted haze nuts and golden delicious apple. The wine has flavors of Pazzaz apple, vanilla cream, Meyer lemon rind and minerals that sit alongside a rich mouthfeel. This is exceptional Washington Chardonnay. (Best 2016-2023) - July, 2016 (OB)
