9.5

Extremely well balanced between fruit and mineral. I didn’t think I LOVED Chenin Blanc, but I could drink it in a house, and I could drink it with a mouse, I could drink it with some fish, I could drink it with ANY dish! — 14 days ago

Eucalyptus, furniture, old interiors — but seen through modern eyes. Great Occhipinti wine! Funky! Lighter body and also cheaper than the others. Really enjoying this one. — 5 months ago

Within the genre of banana daquiri pina colada suntan lotion California chardonnay, this is a standout. And there is no question, despite the boring label, this is a very good wine! Maybe it’s the measure of success when something is so persuasive that one who usually tends toward other categories finds it extremely good. 👍 — a month ago

Back to orange wine for fall. This one is fairly lean and not too tannic despite moderately dark color. Going to try it with curry. — 5 months ago

Chalky, salty, full-ish (for muscadet), slight effervescence up front. Had it with black pasta with rock shrimp — definitely oriented toward fish / seafood. Very good! — 2 months ago

My wine dealer informs me that this was some lesser grape of Burgundy, now being highlighted. Quite good. Lighter than Chardonnay, less citrus than Aligote. Had it w Salade Nicoise but would go w a wide variety of foods. — 5 months ago

A full-ish complex non-fruity sophisticated versatile Sav Blanc from California may sound like a unicorn... it’s great! — 5 months ago
