Wine Enthusiast lavished this with 97 pts, and personally, I beg to differ... As with this varietal, complexity of flavors and perfume come along for the ride. The initial experience on the nose is predominantly notes of Yuzu and tangerine peel. Palate is piercing and close to gunpowder dry. It’s tense and nervy, with a hint of salinity. From a style perspective, if you enjoy CB, this is for you. For me, this is searing, and needs fatty foods to help it relax.

Fulsome almost fruit salad nose. Hints of freshly cut apple and wet hay. An early adopter of biodynamics and an excellent Chenin for a modest price. Wil cellar the rest for a while. 17.

Disappointing. Mellow with an off dry finish. Does not even come close to any Chenin Blanc I've had in the past couple years. Maybe the bottle was off.
