WINEMAKER NOTES: Washington’s 2021 harvest was marked by record-breaking heat during the growing season, resulting in low yields of high-quality fruit with small, ripe, flavorful berries. Combining crisp, floral chenin blanc and fruity, full-bodied Semillon, this blend is unconventionally juicy yet refreshingly delicate. Although this wine is technically dry, there is a whisper of residual sugar to soften the edges.

“The Buoy” is the perfect proprietary name for this imaginative blend of Chenin Blanc and Semillon. Like a buoy, the wine is bright, bobbing and helpful, especially if it is put on the table to accompany a pasta, from a reserved primavera to a sassy puttanesca.” – Mike Dunne
