Notes

Combining lower and higher elevation fruit the “Lynette” expresses flesh from estate Dijon fruit and acid backbone from higher elevation grapes tended by our crew on Washington’s Underwood Mountain four miles north of our estate. The extended élevage in n 33% new French Oak Puncheons develops mid-pallet texture, leading to a delightfully rich but balanced construction. Volcanic soils provide refined mineral notes. Meyer lemon, orange zest and a hint of cardamom segue into a seamless, lingering finish. In
barrel, the wine undergoes Bâtonnage and Malolactic Conversion to approximately 50%.


92 Points - James Suckling (April 2022) Aromas of elderflower, honeysuckle and sliced pear. Medium-bodied. Supple on the palate with notes of beeswax and fresh flowers. A light note of maple. I like the length here. Dry. Drink now.. ”- J.S.
