California wine, not Napa Valley. Pale yellow, excellent clarity. Aromas of sun-dried linens and white flowers. Lemon and stone fruit (nectarine) flavors, good acidity, moderate skin astringency on finish. Lemon pulp aftertaste. Really clean flavors here, great varietal character.

Subtle, polished beauty. Balance and integrity. I'm not all in on Chenin but this opens me up a little.
