"The 2023 Chenin Blanc clearly displays the radiant, focused nature of the vintage, leading with an incisive nose of lemon curd and crushed stones bolstered by exotic, waxy and floral accents. The palate is similarly spry and tensile yet displays a lovely creamy breadth that supports the bright, airy finish."

"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."
