"The 2022 Chenin Blanc is deep and textured. Pear, chamomile, dried herbs, menthol, sage and earthy notes all grace this super-expressive, immensely satisfying Chenin. All the elements are very nicely balanced."

"Sourced from Happy Canyon Vineyard and aged in barrique with complete malolactic fermentation, the 2022 Chenin Blanc is a flashy, orchard-fruited and slightly tropical expression of Chenin Blanc. The texture splits the difference between oily power and spry energy, finishing on a crisp, pretty note."
