The Schlickers think so much of this site in the middle of the Wahluke Slope — one of 10 in the AVA controlled by the Milbrandt brothers — they produce a rarely seen vineyard-designate white wine from this area surrounding Mattawa, Wash. It’s whole-cluster pressed, developed in stainless steel and steered clear of malolactic fermentation. That explains the aromas of lemon, melon, apple and lemon pepper, followed by flavors of ripe Bartlett pear, lemon and lime with Gala apple peel bite in the back.
