This winery is was the third founded in the Walla Walla, known for its estate-grown single-vineyard Cabernets. This Chenin, however, is from bought-in fruit from several Yakima Valley vineyards, all more than 40 years old. Expressive aromas of tropical and stone fruit lead to a rich, ripe palate of baked apples, honey, apricots with balancing orange juice acidity. Delicious with Chinese pork ribs.
