Tasted in 2014: Ripe red fruit, balsamic spices, violets, pencil lead, earth. Drinking a bit young. Finish is a bit short.
This was for the Cab Franc, not the Chenin Blanc.

Lighter body, like a Pinot noir, but a surprisingly bolder flavor, not jammy and low tannins. Cherry tart and herbs. Thumbs up on the green pepper comment from others. Mmmmm.
