Wet wool, orange peel, bitter almond. The bitterness is persistent on the finish.

@Ryan O'Connor you inspired me to get my chenin on for national escargot day. (Had some oysters with it too.)

Tasted blind with tacos, couldn't have been more far off. Came back to it the next day and was pretty close. Bruised apple, texture, slightly oxidized, really good.

Not very characterful at all. Beyond a nice acidity there isn't much fruit to speak of either on the nose or for flavor. Might just prefer chenin blanc when off-dry but this was underwhelming

Nicely made classic Savennières. Nose of wet rocks, beeswax and lemon zest. Minerality, lemon zest, focused acidity in the mouth. Medium-long finish.

Light straw color with apple and cheese rind on the nose. Dry, light bodied, and energetic on the palate. Has been under screwcap enclosure.

Pretty floral, creamy nose with a hint of barnyard. Full bodied and silky with long clean finish. Solid value.
