Dashe Cellars
Les Enfants Terribles Concrete Cuvee Clarksburg Chenin Blanc
Clarksburg, Central Valley, California, USA
Sold to me as an American Vouvray. Not so. Much more on the mineral side of the spectrum. Barely any fruit. Salty, a little bitter. Good acid structure.

Surprisingly fruity on both the nose and taste for a chenin blanc. Smells of honey and flowers, maybe lychees. Light acid with a bit of honey sweetness. Really nice with chicken Marsala. UPDATE: Tried it again 1 day later and it changed quite a bit. Tasted less of honey and more of tart apples and lemons. Also, the acid was less that left it a bit flabby. Definitely better the first day.
