A friend's b-day is a perfect time to open a few beauties. The chenin was a stunner. The Carlisles...were everything one comes to expect from Mike Officer's wines - give them time and watch them blossom.
thanks again to Eric and Deb! :)

starts of funky with wool and sweet hay. with time - more floral, white flowers, touch of honeyed pineapple. mid is light, with green and yellow apples, good spike of acidity, the finish has a touch of sweet baked apples and some pepper, finishes with a zesty touch. love it.. excellent "early maturity" chenin.
