Come on and Zoom, Zoom, Zooma Zoom: Blind: Chardonnay or Chenin? Decided it was Chardonnay but figure it was from some unique terrior so I guess Argentina. Did I win? sorry...
Very light color and texture. Interesting but not earth shattering. Searching for a note or hint that would scream the variety or location. Thought maybe a Chablis from an off vintage but ultimately decided from the other end of the world.

Blind Tasting via Zoom (Over Zoom): Tasted blind. I had pegged this for Chenin Blanc, as it had some intersection with how I see that varietal tasting. Honeysuckle and cut green apple aromas. I tasted this twice over a 1/2 hour and the first time through it shows a mango, nectarine and spicy green apple and a lithe but structured palate. On the second pour, I can still feel the structure in the palate, finishing with anise and some toasted wood. I can see how this can ring true for Chardonnay but overall, it gave me kind of a pure, solid Chenin feel. This is a delicious wine, well built and balanced.
