Domaine Ste. Michelle, Brut, Columbia Valley, Washington

Aromas of honey, white flower along with lemon peel, green apple and pear open this wine. While made on a larger scale the wine preserves a degree of elegance and impressiveness particularly at the $14 pricepoint. The over delivery on the palate continues with impressive toasty bread character, nutmeg, white peach and a persistent and fine mousse.
