A funky but fun entry in the shower of Pet Nats being made in Ca. This one, a Chenin Blanc, is lively with a sweet jasmine floral core. On a hot sunny day who doesn't love them?

Soapy and cilantro laced. Rounded out by barrel elevage but now oak influenced.

Very crisp, nice mix of citrus and savory notes. Touch of creaminess emerged over time. Tasty.

Killer right now! Delicious on first pour but got even better on day two. Don't be afraid to decant or cellar this for a few years 🔋⚡ #hellachenin #sacramentoterroir

Just keeps getting better. Same yellow fruits, mushrooms & nutty goodness as a few months ago with even more depth and cohesiveness.

Glad I stashed a couple of these away. Developing all the richness of Chenin that benefited from oxygen, but still extremely fresh. Yellow fruit, cashews, fennel and mushrooms. Damn good!
