Abeja 2021 Chardonnay
The generic Washington AVA is no reflection on the quality of the wine – it's simply that the grapes were sourced from Celilo (Columbia Gorge), Conner Lee (White Bluffs) and the estate (Walla Walla). These three exceptional Chardonnay vineyards are scattered around the state and Celilo is that rare site not within the Columbia Valley AVA, hence the Washington designation. This rich, mouth-coating wine takes full advantage of all three sources, loading the palate with buttery apple fruit, toasted almonds, vanilla cream and enough acidity to keep it lively all through the finish. Just released! 1073 cases; 14.1%; $48 (Washington) 95/100
