Wilson Vineyard Chenin Blanc
Clarksburg, Central Valley, California, USA
Nose has cold Bartlett pear slice, ginger, onion skin, quince, lemon zest and fading white flowers.
Palate has pear mousse, lemon peel, green apple slice, sandstone, tart pear with faintly sweet notes. A short finish, but seems a little awkward.
Sparkling Chenin Blanc.
(First time ever with onion skin in a tasting note, mind you this is just the paper skin, not onion notes proper. I don't find this as a flaw, just my first impression.)
@Delectable Wine Would you please remove the disgorgement info from the name? It's really not the proper way to call this out. Thanks!

Sparking Chenin Blanc. What to say. This is a light bright easy drinking wine. Lemon in sparkling water was one description. It has a bit more complexity of lemon zest and fresh hay but not the level of body that heavier white wine grapes have.
