Bright straw... powerfully floral with cantaloupe and other melon notes. The lanolin and honey shows up quietly. Very lush and still some acid.

Applesauce and minerals play. Bumblebees and such swarm round and about which gives this wine buzz but as much as 2016...Cause that year...Acid spoke more in 2016 which I kick myself for not documenting here: 2016 was magic. but what the heck here 2017 is yup new world balanced and fun and maybe earthier gulper! All in all Birichino does good things

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

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.
