Santa Ynez Valley Chenin Blanc

I’m a big fan of Lieu Dit - haven’t had anything yet that I did not love - Santa Barbara

I think the ‘14 is showing well now.

Flinty and saline. A beautiful and delicate example of the varietal. Gorgeously done and a great value.

Solid NW Chenin, at least it has the acidity to make it refreshing.

Great Chenin from Cali. Well done.

Thanks @Greg Rubin Good hump day wine (but my heart is with Vouvray).

Killer new world chenin complete with tropical fruit slight minerality and cheese rind

At Intl smoke w o'brien's. Fascinated by this but after Asian inspired brussel sprouts. Indian inspired carrots and 3 kinds of ribs with all kinds of sweet spicy whatever going on, it's really hard to properly objectify this wine. But I liked it.

Buttery, citrus fruit, refreshing

Dry, acidic. Apple, pear, and pomelo for fruit, strong minerality with a slight floral note on the nose
