Amador County Chenin Blanc 2022

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two hours. The 2022 pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart orchard fruit: passion fruit, lemon, sea spray, white flowers, lanolin and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ with a wooly texture and lovely minerals. Drinking now through 2037. — 7 days ago

Just a perfect wine. Opened at the right time, served with the proper meal, and just so grateful for those moments when the stars align and you open a wine you know is good at the perfect time. Angela is just crushing it. — 3 months ago
