Big, round and lush, this is the fourth vintage for this wine, one of the best Chardonnays in Washington state. In this vintage it did not go through full malolactic, leaving a nice underlying acidity with a leesy, creamy freshness. Golden apples, stone fruits and a lick of butterscotch add to the luscious, generous finish.——P.G.(12/31/2010)—— 93

Vinified in 100% new French oak, this is young, tight and showing the barrel flavors more than the fruit. As it opens, in come flavors of citrus skin, lemon drop and caramel. It’s quite acidic, with good structure, and still has a yeasty finish.——P.G.(12/31/2009)—— 89

This is Chris Gorman’s first white wine; it has been babied and it shows. The wild yeast fermentation in 100% new French oak really piles on the rich, butterscotch flavors, along with toast, spice, nutmeg and caramel. But there’s fruit to match, powerful and thick, with impressive length and weight.——P.G.(3/1/2008)—— 92
