Saturday, November 13, 2021 - The story is that Molly Chapellet refused to allow Don to pull out the old vine Chenin when they moved to the property on Pritchard Hill in the late 1960's. The vines were situated high on the hill near the house, and made Molly's favorite wine. This example was beautiful.
Nose: Peach, lemon, slight honey and beautiful white flowers. Palate: Good body. Lithe and elegant with loads of freshness in the herb, peach, apple and lavender notes. What an interesting wine. I am not sure you would be in Napa if served blind.
Remarkable showing for a 40-year old Chenin Blanc.
