Dec 17th, 2019Classic chenin. Beeswax and non-oak smoke . Zip lining acid that goes really well with shrimp pad Thai but not with double chocolate chip cookies ๐. Green papaya. There is a little bit of ripe tropical fruit but itโs still such a direct wine

Apr 16th, 2021My favorite Chenin to date. Funky, astringent(in a good way), honey, beeswax, orchard fruit, petrol, minerals, well integrated acidity.
Such a fun wine to have with spicy food. I've ordered 3 more๐

Dec 1st, 2020Such an interesting wine. So unexpected terroir mineral balance with pineapple pear fruit. Top notch! Tasted great with Santa Barbara uni, ikura, Toro and negi-hamachi!

Feb 23rd, 2020Stupid good. So expressive and easy for me to love as Chenin is probably my favorite single varietal grape in the still form. Viscous passion fruit, ripe apricot, lemon meringue, and plenty of spice.

Jan 20th, 2020A glimmer of hope for well priced natural wine from California. Combe Chenin is deep with personality. Ripe with plenty of residual acid, there is spiced pineapple, quince, basil, and earthy mushrooms. Terrific and underpriced ($20) and will probably retail for $31 next year.
