Tense, sharp, crystalline CB, carries some nice concentration along with it across the palate.

Incredible balance. Apple and tea leaf on the nose, with pear on the pallet. So balanced, expected way more acid with the tree fruit, but it's just perfect. Delish and will certainly revisit

Truly special @Littorai Wines - #cheninigans, Haven Vineyard, imo the most endearing of all of Ted and Heidi's vineyards.

Not nearly what I thought it was, when blind tasting. Seemed a little thin and I didnt get the same concentration from Chenin i usually do.

A very interesting #newworld #cheninblanc Fragrant but light on the nose. More complexity on the palate with notes of ripe yellow fruit and lanolin. Medium acid and short length. #littorai #sonomacoast #ctbucklinwine
