Horrible when I opened, but two days later completely opened up and delicious.

If you think there's no good Chenin coming out of California, well then you'd be wrong.

Weighty mouthfeel. Viscous and dry. Not a ton of fruit, but a bit of salinity.

Super drinkable, but I find myself wanting more acid. Is that a fault of the wine, or because I want it to be more Loire-like? Regardless, it was gone in a hurry. More investigation is required.
