Melon, pineapple, orange pith, toast. Medium plus body. The acidity makes the rich fruit crave-able.

I love the tension and purity in this wine. Great citrus and orchard fruit, enveloping texture. Long acid-driven finish. Quite Loire-esque. Great value for beautifully made CA Chenin.

Get ready to pucker up! This one is super dry, notes of lemon, neutral oak. Goldilocks color, medium viscosity. Begs for food! Santé my friends.

Is it any surprise that Pax is a champion of Chenin Blanc in California? Wonderful wine with classic aromas of wet wool, pear, lemon and herbal tea. Acidity is appropriately intense, excellent weight on the mid palate, rounding out slightly before transitioning to lean and taut finish. Real beauty!
