W Block Single Vineyard Chenin Blanc

Medium lemon. Hint of grass or mint, wasabi or yellow mustard, Macademia nuts, apple.High acidity, medium sugar, medium alcohol. Blinded tasted 3 "blocks", guessed they were from the same producer but I thought it'd be in Vouvray.

Rich, full bodied and intensely expressive wine. Lots of fruits--apple, apricot, maybe some honeydew melon--with mineral overlay and kernel. Nice acidic zip at first, but body is a little flabby after that.

From a series of three single vineyard chenin blancs. Very nice wine. A little clean but well done

South African Chenin. Terrific

This and the S2 are my favorites. Intensity and concentration while still very much about finesse.

Loved this one and “A”. Amazing finesse with the grape, and highly quaffable.

Color of really saturated gold. Nose is special with almost like teriyaki sauce, Wasabi sauce plus gourmet vinegar, Sauternes like, and strength of alcohol. Taste of complex acidity, salty mineral, ripe banana, honey, oak, and good content of flavors. Aftertaste of savory mineral, good acidity, oak, and medium long. Taste by herself is high quality, yet the nose I can’t make sense of it.

Baked apple, banana bread, salted caramel. A lil flabby. Big and tropical finish.

Smells of peonies. Tastes of melon, grapefruit, and lime.

Liked this a lot
