Ernesto Wickenden Vineyard Old Vines Chenin Blanc
Santa Maria Valley, Central Coast, California, USA
Haven't had this in a year, and wow has this wine developed into a legit Chenin. Stinky lanolin aromas accompany bruised peach, Meyer lemon sorbet, waxy green leafy herb and zippy acidity, more off-dry than I remembered. Developing some richness, but so bright and lively. I might hold onto a bottle or 2 and see where it goes!
