Yellow white in color. Floral, spice, green fruit and citrus notes in nose, some diacetyl and wood as well. Lemon peel note in mouth, green apricot and orange on finish with slight skin astringency. Almost bone dry. Candied orange peel aftertaste. Great food wine

Delectable Featured Wine

This Portland-based winery led by husband and wife team @Thomas Monroe and @Kate Monroe ventured into Washington's Yakima Valley to source fruit for this demi-sec ode to the Loire. Zippy acidity perfectly balances the white peach sweetness and silica-driven silky texture. Makes a delicious companion for spicy, herbaceous dishes.

Spot on Chenin Blanc from Washington, fresh cut white flowers, green apples, great acidity, a bit of residual sugar but so delicious, isn't it @Pascaline Lepeltier, MS ? :-p
