New world, old world. New world fruit, peach pear. Old world texture, oily wool. Well made.

‘Merican chenin! It’s sunny, generous and fun. Lemon, pear, orange creamsicle, toasted marshmallow, crushed stone coats the back palate. Not going to make me forget about my Loire faves anytime soon but an interesting fresh (literally) take

Freshness and minerals. Unlike Loire and South Africa and frankly, if I tasted blind I would’ve guessed Oregon Pinot Gris

Nice chenin blanc from Santa Barbara. Gently entry on the palate, good texture. White fruit and medium acid. Harmonious finish.

2017 in 7/21. Damn, didn't write anything about this when I had it. Dug it though! 12% KL from Cali.
