Nice example of a US Chenin. Aromas of yellow apple, white flowers and chalk. Pallet shows flavors of honeydew melon, apple, lemon and almonds. Loads of minerals on the long finish. Very refreshing. New World Chenin that has Old World qualities. Solid producer.

Really solid offering. Lemon and lime meet zippy minerality with flower blooms filling in the gaps (jasmine and honeysuckle).

Love this Columbia Valley Chenin. Yeah some lemon and honey but the ‘17 has enough minerality to keep it from being too sweet. Glad to see some WA varietals getting deserved props.
