  Coravined some off for friends maybe a year ago...popped the cork tonight for more friends after dinner and all 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed it. Thick, juicy, well balanced. Honey and citrus and some vanilla. This one has light years ahead of it. Might have scored higher if I'd kept notes! Seemingly getting better with the passage of time.

  Last wotn...enjoyed by all but JAronson, but that's ok, as Dan finished off his glass for him! Lovely, sweet dessert wine. Honey, apricots, marmalade, etc.....a tad thick and sweet but man, it's good. Not to be confused with something like D'Yquem, it's a totally different animal all together, but it's quite enjoyable and rewarding, nonetheless. Glad there's more in the cellar.

  Coravined. Light amber color. Creamy peanut butter and honey on the nose. Syrupy, honeyed palate. Fun, but too sweet. 9.5% abv. 100% Chenin Blanc

  Apricot, nectarine, quince, marmalade, orange peel. Bright, intense acidity. Good viscosity, lengthy finish. Doesn’t yet possess the “wow” factor of previous vintages of this Straw wine. Hold.

  Drank from a 375 over the course of about a week. Delicious dessert wine that gets more interesting and complex after a few days. A gift from Mark—thank you!!
