Rich floral and honey notes. Subtle citrus on the palette. Bone dry. #cheninigans #7solution #drycreekvalley

Couldn't finish it because it tastes like grapes! Annoying comment, I know, but lacked the acidity or minerality that I need in Chenin.

Excellent. Bone dry with lovely mouth feel. Viscosity belies California but acid balance is great.

Always nice when expectations are met. Had read glowing reviews, and this wine glows. A very reasonable price, too.

Very nice, little restrained on the fruit. But will definitely revisit. Love the acid zip on this one

Very Interesting American take on a Vouvray style Chenin. I very much enjoyed this wine. Slightly funky and delicious ripe waxy stoned fruits on the nose.
