Best Buy! International wine conglomerate Deutsch Family launched this brand with the 2012 vintage, and it’s a collaboration with Yakima Valley grower/vintner David Minick of Precept. While the brand is named for the expanding Skyfall Vineyard between Red Mountain and the Horse Heaven Hills, fruit for this Chardonnay goes beyond the vines near Benton City. This Chardonnay is loaded with the fruity tones, opening with aromas of white peach, cotton candy and apricot blossom as buttery and nutty notes are released as the chill comes off. The rewarding mouth feel brings flavors of starfruit, nectarine, Gala apple and orange pith as lemon oil lingers in the finish.
