Delightful budgeting companion. Starting to develop some aged characters. Wooly, candied peaches, a streak of green apple

Very good example of Californian chenin blanc.
Some lanolin backnotes to the crisp green apple and stone fruits with touches of floral.
Great zesty palate attack with generous mouthfeel but never flabby. 2013

Weighty, good Chenin character. Reminds me of Chidaine, but riper and with a bit less acid. Exited to see where this goes in a few years. Much preferred to the last wine from this vineyard that I tried.

Starting to learn about that vineyard. Pretty tasty if you're looking for Chenin from CA

A mouth coating texture with golden delicious apples, pear peel and floral notes. Med+ body and a spicy note that comes in mid palate.

Another old vine Chenin. Delicious and classic. Hope it goes with those Brussels sprouts

Honey, grassy, a bit of melon and golden apple. Really delicious.
