The reserve tier that pays tribute to Victor Palencia’s father — the vine tender — takes this expression of the Spanish white grape down a slightly more rounded approach in terms of texture. Notes of white peach, baked Bosc pear drizzled with honey, daisies and lemon zest leave just enough room for the faint hint of minerality provided by famed Evergreen Vineyard in the Ancient Lakes region. Palencia operates two tasting rooms — the Palencia Bodega in West Richland and Vino la Monarcha at the Port of Kennewick’s Columbia Gardens. Qualifying awards: Savor NW (best of class, gold)
