  Lemon in the glass, moderately aromatic nose with green fruits and citrus, palate is dry and crisp, acidity is lively and bright, tart fruits lead with green apple and Meyer lemon, note tropical fruit as the wine warms, citrus blossom, gravely hints, medium + body, long lingering finish. Very nice, good QPR. Pair with a higher fat seafood.

  I am neutral on this wine.... so far.
  
  Color. Palish yellow, tinge of gold.
  
  Nose. White flowers. Peach and apricot.
  
  Palate. Muted. Light mouth feel. Fair level of acidity.
  
  The only thing that keeps me interested is the alluring nose.

  Bracing acid in this bottle. At the high end for what I can find enjoyable. Actually quite a bit better next day after putting in vacuum cork and storing in the fridge. I think a tad of oxidation helped tone down the sharpness.
  
  Fruit character is tropical and unripe pear, fantastic length. Gravel in the direction of saline mineral characteristics, particular in the late palate.
  
  We had this with a cheese plate and the soft cheese worked ok. I think it’s be better with something like crab legs dipped in butter or a white cream sauce over pasta.
  
  Would buy again to have on hand for an by occasion that demands that sort of thing, beware of pulling this cork for a generic occasion, it’s not a mindless sipper.

  Bright yellow in the glass. Nose of floral and tropical fruits with some elderflower. It almost smells sweet….
  
  On the palate it is dry, crisp and full flavored. Stone fruit, flower blossoms and pineapple. There’s a green almond hint on the mid palate and medium acidity on the jaw. I picked this wine to pair with Sous Vide chicken confit- the crispy skin is going to go beautifully with this rich, full bodied Chenin Blanc that gets 89 points and for $ 20- 4 stars. Drink till 2024.
