2023 Subsoil Horse Heaven Hills AVA Chardonnay, Columbia Valley, Washington

Notes of butterscotch, lemon cream pie and fresh pineapple juice greet you on the nose. The voluminous fruit continues in the mouth with flavors of meyer lemon and sweet vanilla. The full bodied fruit is balanced by clean bright acidity that leads into a long, lingering finish.
