This is what you get when you combine the three best Chardonnay vineyards in Washington State. Sumptuous and graceful, it gives up its flavors of guava, lemon curd, orange blossoms as the palate expands with more and more of the copious good stuff. Good. Compelling. So complete

ALPHONSE MELLOT LA MOUSSIERE SANCERE BLANC
Very fine gold color with a green sheen. Its nose has a flowery fruity bouquet. Being pure and honest it is seducer from the outset. Flowers flit around, trees bend down to give their most beautiful fruits to us and the air we breathe is so sweet in this garden full of sweetness that it is intoxicating. Lively, supple and welcoming taste. Predomina... More

ORIN SWIFT " 8 YEARS IN THE DESERT"
An opaque core with a red amethyst rim, the wine opens with ripe raspberry and blackberry, dark plum preserves and hints of black pepper and clove.

ORIN SWIFT "D66" FACADE,GRENACHE GRIS
Another amazing wine from Orin Swift. Reminiscent of a California Riesling, this cousin to Grenache Noir and Grenache Blanc, Department 66 Facade Grenache Gris, is earthy and spicy with a slightly full palate that is similar to a Petit Syrah. Pair with hearty, braised meats (veal, lamb, chicken, beef, coarse game), cassoulet or delicately flavored ... More
