2020 Columbia Valley Chardonnay
Tasting notes: Baked apple and fresh buttered brioche intermingle with hints of pear, honeycomb, and jasmine on the nose. Nectarine, apple blossom, and verbena lemon are complemented with peach and candied stone fruit notes. This wine is full-bodied and layered with a delicate expression of vanilla and creme brule creating a rounded and elegant finish. Enjoy now-2030
Blend: 100% Chardonnay

"The 2020 Passing Time Chardonnay is a glorious new wine by this Woodinville house that was mainly sourced from the Evergreen Vineyard (77%). Stored in an equal combination of neutral French oak barrels and stainless steel, this opens with nectarine and starfruit aromatics alongside roasted hazelnut and saline drenched Japanese pear. The palate has a great veil of salinity that runs through the core of beautiful orchard and citrus fruits, with buttercream accents. Finishing very long, this comes off weightless and refined, as the 2020 Passing Time Chardonnay will cellar well or another eight to ten years, picking up nutty and earthy tones as it lies in the cellar. Only 100 cases produced. Drink 2022-2030"
