5/8/26 Wonderful, decadent berry tastes. Rich but smooth, jam like cherry and blackberry tastes immediate on the tongue. Fabulous wine — 12 days ago

Ruby rust medium opacity, medium to light bodied with noticeable acidity, herbal hints over tart cherries, solid rioja crianza — 2 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days. Best on Day 2. The 2023 Amador County pours a bright, deep straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart orchard fruit: peach, lemon, tangerine, white flowers, lanolin, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and the texture is waxy. Obviously young but I can’t help but feel that these Chenin’s from Tegan just keep getting better and better. Drink now through 2039. — 4 months ago

First vintage post-RPM, immensely enjoyable ten years on. As in Beaujolais, this CA interpretation is losing its original energy over time, but maintains its own signature profile. — a month ago

A well made wine with plenty of time still. GSM’s just don’t do anything for me at the moment. — 5 months ago

Taste like the Sierra Foothills smell. Had a sustained maturity… not over mature… just seemed the way it was meant to be. — 4 months ago
