Buddha’s hand, pear, orange creamsicle and white pepper nose. Interesting fruit notes (pawpaw?) and cilantro on the palate. A bit cidery, a bit thin. Not a rebuy for me, but intriguing.

Can’t stop thinking about this golden nectar of Chenin. My favorite grape, from my favorite part of the Garden of France - Loire.This is like a deep conversation that lasts three hours but feels like fifteen minutes. There’s so much going on so take your time between sips. Go slow.Bartlett pears soft like butter. Granny Smith apples, vanilla, popcorn kernels. Round texture with high acid to cut through the fat. Finish of burnt caramel and lemon.As with the complicated ones, let this get to cellar temp to get the full dialogue.
