Had this one a lot and liked it. Rated it from past experience as I Found this one a little musty/earthy that turned into a corked bottle. Too bad.

Have been wanting to try Leo Steen for awhile. Thanks @Delectable Wine for the #cheninigans recommendation. Wondering what @Pascaline Lepeltier, MS thinks of this one.

Leo Steen is doing wonders with California Chenin Blanc. I imagine this will do better with a little more time in the cellar. Succulent white flowers, minerals, lemon zest and green apple glide down with enough acidity to pair this well with a number of dishes.

Big Cali Chenin blanc with strong Chardonnay-like bouquet. Squared off, lacking acid with poor finish.

Light to medium bodied, a touch of oak, nice finish. Not for spices foods.
