Best Buy! Prosser winemaker Jessica Munnell is hitting her stride for the Mercer family, and she continues to release food-friendly wines that also are easy on the pocketbook. Her collection of Chardonnay from Pasco’s Sagemoor Vineyard and Paterson’s Zephyr Ridge Vineyard — both of which offer views of the Columbia River — presents sweet aromas of pineapple, apricot, melon and pear. The whiff of vanilla is a sign of the partial barrel fermentation. The brisk drink delivers fresh flavors of apple, starfruit and pear, backed by lemon chiffon acidity, cantaloupe and lick of butter in the finish.
