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

Beautifully balanced. Pear, lemon, spiced apple aromatics followed by a palate of key lime, cardamom, and spruce.

A wine that needs to be opened or decanted but then exploded into awesome. Aged in acacia so it's a fun style from one of my favorite producers.

Tough to describe! Full bodied, aromatic, slightly tart, almost savory wine.

Great body, texture, acidity. Salt-mineral aromas, rich golden / stone fruits. Absolutely lovely stuff!
