There is something about Chenin with some bottle age. Confected fruits, funky and nutty, oxidative edges all held together by ample acidity.

Chenin, I love you. Nutty, savory, but still vibrant. Best blind wine I've had in a while.

Meant to be with food. Full bodied; what buttery tries to be.

A golden orange color with a nose of peach jam, clove , pineapple and a whiskey barrel/slight oxidative quality. Med to high acid it's but balanced by fruit and a solid medium body with flavors of lemon rind, lemon curd, spice, dried apricot, honey and dried mango. The spice and acidity linger on and on.
