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.

Bright and vibrant. Not overly complex but very enjoyable on a hot summer eve.

Apricot and fresh grass on the nose. Light gold in the glass. Tart with green apple, grapefruit and pineapple with a little salinity. Finish is relatively short. Enjoyable in the summer heat - went well with ssummer squash and fresh pesto.

Good fruit (old vine, 1944) really liking the mineral aspect and neutral barrel with possible slight brett (or natty wine note, savory, good) . 12.2 ABV is fantastic.
Lemon, redwood, stone, honeysuckle

Like biting into a tart apple - crisp and tangy. Refreshing.
