Clarksburg Chenin Blanc is almost always a pleasure. This wine is light bodied, with restrained floral honeysuckle tones and a slight tinge if grapefruit citrus. The citrus lingers pleasantly into the finish.This is s perfect palate cleanser for a varied meal.

Apple and grapefruit flavors predominate in this perfect example of the Clarksburg CB terroir. This region is under appreciated but really shines with Chenin Blanc, and RB brings out the beauty in this marvelous white. We enjoyed with crispy panko chicken and sweet potato fries.

Dry, crisp, with full oaky flavor, and more earthy than fruity. From Naked wines. Tasted 19 June 2022x

It’s okay. Got this as part of the Naked Wines shipment. Isn’t as dry, mineral, and crisp as I would expect of a Chenin Blanc.

We found this pleasantly tart - better if kept cold - the tartness grew as the wine got warmer. Would buy again.

From our second case of Naked Wines. Not light but not heavy. Dry. The tiniest of effervescence. Apple? Idk but it's intense. Not unpleasant. For dinner we ate pulled pork, butternut squash, and spinach. Would drink again

Very basic Chenin Blanc from California. Aromas of pear and honeysuckle. Flavors of peaches, apricot and wet gravel. Lots of acidity with a little bit of sweetness. A bit flat and "watery." Drink it quickly because it oxidizes quickly. From Naked Wines.

Really nice wine. Illusion of sweetness, crisp acidity, very flexible with food. Don't overchill!
