This wine has a beautiful golden hue and a complex nose. There are notes of guava, white flowers, lime and a soapy streak of salinity. The acidity is bracing. On the palate citrus minerals and an earthy aftertaste, almost soft despite the razor-sharp acidity. Get this for your shellfish, and don't be selfish. Share.

Very good Chenin. Touch of RS. Great peachy note with mineral finish.

Loved this. Went out to eat and had to try this Loire Chenin. When the bottle came and the back said ‘Kermit Lynch Imports’ I knew I was in good hands! Honey, pear, minerality. A rounder mouthfeel. Incredibly balanced. A real treat. Need to find this for the store!

Waxy, honeyed, floral and bracing acidity. Really great for the price.

Fantastic stuff. Laser beam focus. Tight and racy with beautiful stone fruit flavors. Would love to try an aged version...

Sour funk with lemon pineapple perfumes. Insane acidity with riper flavors on the palette - lemon curd and tropical guava. Some honeyed accents along the edges. Chenin characteristics intact. Awesome stuff.
