2010 was a cooler vintage in Yakima Valley, affording the grapes extended hang time and phenolic maturation. The 2010 Côte Bonneville DuBrul Vineyard Chardonnay proffers a generous nose of buttered rum, vanilla, pineapple and toasted coconut. Aged for 17 month on new French oak with fine lees, it’s medium-bodied and voluptuous, with firm, tight-grained tannins lending structure to a creamy, fruit-laden core that concludes in a prolonged and citrusy finish. This is one for the cellar. 14.3% ABV
