Excellent chenin from Cali that is very true to the grape, citrus fruits and zest, florals, chipped rock minerality, and the telltale lanolin that classic chenin will usually have. Great acidity, med/med+, nose and med+ palate and finish. Top domestic chenin!

Bright, clear light yellow in the glass... touch of reduction or funky sulfur on the nose... but It blew off as the wine warmed. Sharp tart lemon pith coupled with lime, yuzu and zippy acidity. Guard your tooth enamel...the acid jumps up and bites... but I love it. This wine is alive...cuts through the amazing fatty richness of a Flannery Pork Roast and leaves you wanting more. Listed at 12.1 ABV. I’m becoming addicted to New World Chenin Blanc. So glad I bought six...

Crisp, clean and bone dry. A great supper sipper. A real porch pounder

The 2019 explodes off the pad and screams straight up...shedding flashing stars that expand in your mouth and bounce around a bit before you swallow. Bright, lean, searing with acidity and sour lime, lemon, and grass. So much fun in a bottle!
