Super ripe apricots and golden apples with mandarin orange, button mushroom, spicy bell pepper, honey, flowers, and beeswax on the nose. Fruits continue onto palate with ginger spice and cinnamon. Finish reminds me of Apple Jacks. A touch of RS. Fun wine, a good expression.

Nice, off-dry style with plenty of floral notes mingling in there with yeasty, stone fruit and citrus. Slightly phenolic on the finish with some grip.

This could be the best $16 you spend this month! Sparkling Chenin Blanc with zippy acidity and apples and quince.

Turbo racy, no perceptible RA. Rather tight, some apricot, green apple, almond are revealed over time on the finish. Hold.

An interesting Vouvray on the dry side taking a while to open up. 2020 vintage at Costco for $15
