A celebrity... Pursued by bear.

I'd been curious about the Pursued by Bear wines since learning about them.

 Proprietor/actor Kyle MacLachlan has been making wines from his home of Washington state for nearly two decades. I am always curious about a "celebrity wine", but he seems to really enjoy wine, so would at least have a passion to make a quality product. I'd say, he very much does. 

2023 Twin Bear Yakima Valley Chardonnay-

Fairly subtle nose on this wine. Hints of apple, pear and citrus with suggestions of spice.

It has lively acidity that awakens the palate to more delicate flavors of golden and MacIntosh apple, D'Anjou pear and barely ripe white peach all accented by Meyer lemon and hints of pie crust. 

It's a nice wine to simply sip and enjoy without too much focus or contemplation. Simply, wonderfully balanced and very tasty. Those who like leaner Chard with zippy acidity will be pleased with this wine. As such, it's sure to be super food-friendly.
