Great nose, full bodied, racing acidity, crisp clean finish. Would be awesome ice cold on a hot day.

Pear, golden apple, whipped cream, white flowers, ginger, herbal tea. Another interesting Chenin from Talmadge-Ukiah region of Mendocino displaying great varietal character and dense mid palate.

Very competent stuff. Quince and pineapple and wet chalkboard with the faintest whiff of sweetness.
