Found this in the cellar.....Citrus and fading. Has some butter to balance (malolactic?) Light nuts.

Solid performer and good typicity for a demi-sec Loire chenin. My past notes pretty much some this one up.

Textbook wooly, waxy lemon chenin. This wine isn't overly complex but is a very good example of why I love Loire chenin so much. It's crisp with a slight bit of r.s, excellent fruit, good acid streak, and very cleansing finish.

Crisp, with lemon at the fore. More dry than Vouvray Chenin Blancs. Great food wine. Paired with pesto risotto w/ shrimp.

Surprisingly tight. Light lemon zest aromatics, steely and lean. Next day it�s opening up much more with pronounced lemon and rainwater, wax and wool. It�s still quite lean and wonderfully dry and crisp. I�ll hold for a year before opening another.

Just had a taste, but this was wonderful. Dry or nearly so, and in a good place for current drinking, although I'd be in no hurry if I had more.

Nice, surprisingly full bodied, crisp, slightly sweet, minerally.

This wine is crisp and clean with a hint of sweetness. Bright lemon cream pie flavors with plenty of refreshing acidity. Very enjoyable chenin sipper and a deal at $12.

Opened for 6 hrs prior to dinner. The softly sweet entry, lush fruit, and very crisply acidic finish turned out to be an excellent match with lobster rolls (touch of mayo, celery, and tarragon w/Bibb lettuce on toasted finger rolls). I still think this needs time to integrate and have some of the baby fat front end soften a bit. Very enjoyable wine.

Bright sweet fruit, full lemon waxy palate and very brisk, dry citrus acidity. Reminds me of a good, young QbA riesling in that it's refreshing but really needs time to mellow out a bit. Come back next summer.
