Old school, acid driven, but with great oily texture. Cool fresh oyster mushroom on the nose with peach pit, pear, citrus, minerals. 2013.

Somwhat innocuous in this vintage to my palate at least vs 2012. Not bad at all but...good acid but less ravishing

Acidic, , mineral driven, refreshing but ballsy and bold. This white wine does not give a fuck. Paired very well with a mixed green salad with cumin garlic dressing, roasted corn and scallions, and cranberries.

Limeade, chive blossom, green tea and struck flint. Impeccable juice. Guessing this could cellar far long than the agglomerated cork that sealed it would ever last. 🔋⚡

Clean, pure, nervy and thinks about some sweetness.

Chenin Blanc from the Loire... Stainless steel, fresh and very bright. Honeycomb, apricot, peach... Very light and lively. Got this from Kermit Lynch and paired it with buttermilk fried chicken and spicy coleslaw .. It worked just fine!
