PnP. Clear, light straw color. Nice clean CB nose. Lighter bodied, med crisp, maybe a touch over the top but a nice wine, well made, good balance, nothing off. A great summer jug, super value.

Crisp, clean, but not as "delicious" as I would have hoped.

Nice lemon, lime zest, crushed sea shells nose, and some floral wisps. Lush mouthfeel with citrus, orange cream, pear and a rocky minerality. Just a trace of RS which shows up for me with warming. This brings a lot of interesting qualities for a meager price tag.

Floral qualities dominate the bouquet; orchard and stone fruit qualities on the palate with nice underlying acidity. Nice.

Nice aromatics, apricots and stone fruits. Medium bodied, with great fruit and a hint of lushness. Just a hint of sweetness. Refreshing. Fun wine at a good price. 87-88

Another excellent vintage for one of my favorite white wines. Round and lush in the mouth, with honey, golden delicious apple, and star fruit notes. The aromas are reminiscent of ripe orchard fruits--white peach, nectarine. Delicious dry finish. We had it with Chinese chicken salad and it was a knock-out.

Great body and acidity. Multiple layers of stone fruits. Some grapefruit on the back end. The palate is where the cirrus component shines. This wine is very fruit forward but balanced. Nice example of the varietal.

Really pretty, and pretty damn good. This is good chenin.
