W.B. Bridgman Cellars 2016 Chardonnay, Columbia Valley, $12

By on May 19, 2018

Best Buy! Seattle-based Precept Wine continues to honor the legacy of W.B. Bridgman, whose family farmed Concord grapes in the 19th century. He put down roots in the heart of the Yakima Valley prior to Prohibition, planting on Snipes Mountain. Chardonnay was not among those, but the most popular white wine in the U.S. is a core of this brand now. The latest release from Hal Landvoigt’s team is made for the American palate, touching on hints of toast, lemon meringue pie, apple skin and orange blossom. There’s a fun flash of bubble gum and twist of lemon on the entry, backed by some roundness on the finish with a nibble of peach skin. Enjoy it with pork, chicken and pasta salads. These wines are available at Total Wine & More.
