Beautiful bouquet upon opening. Orange zest, quince, pear and cantaloupe explode from the glass. Crazy minerals too, a strong granitic quality. The palate is rich, round, chewy, but structured with a nice bit of RS. The heft and volume is impressive, but also kind of overbearing at this stage. Like a lot of ‘18 Loire Chenins lacks some acid relative to richness. Just needs to shed its baby fat.

Hiding in my cellar like that, but I can’t stay mad at you! Absolute golden color. The mineral, lanolin, and brioche nose gives way to chamomile, apricots yellow apple, quince, and honey flavors. Rounded mouth feel, but no perceptible residual sugars. I really am a sucker for a dry Chenin Blanc. MY wife found a killer Spring Valley goat cheese from Chester Spring, PA to have with this wine.

Oh rich and ripe! And damn tasty. Another First the Wine darling, the color says: obsess about me. The nose says I have some ripe tropical AND domestic fruits for ya. Sipping you think sour overripe lemon and orange with squeezes of ripe lemon juice. But a glass of this has been sitting in fields of honeysuckle dancing with all the limestone babies.
