Lisa Warr-King Packer’s résumé includes a stint at Chateau Ste. Michelle working with white wines, and the Woodinville winemaker earned her first Double Platinum with the judging’s top example of Chenin Blanc. It hails from Hahn Hill Vineyard in the Yakima Valley, a site established in 1968, and Packer loads the wine with hints of tropical fruit, orchard fruit and melon. The body carries beautiful weight with flavors of honeydew and cantaloupe, and the finish of lemon curd provides perfect acidity for a long finish. Enjoy with fresh pastas, cheeses and salads. Award: Seattle Wine Awards (gold).
