The grapes chosen for this wine were sourced from the Kaiser Vineyard, at The Benches in the Horse Heaven Hills. Gilles Nicault serves as head winemaker on this limited production Chard. This wine opens with aromas of poached pear, brioche, oak and nutmeg. There are flavors of vanilla cream, golden delicious apple, mushroom and cantaloupe. The wine finishes clean and has a lovely mineral driven mouthfeel. Impressive effort, the best Dance Chardonnay I've sampled yet. (Best 2015-2022) - October, 2015 (OB)
