"The 2023 Chenin Blanc (Amador County) is the most complete of the three whites I tasted for this report. Aromatic, bright and lifted, the 2023 possesses gorgeous floral lift and nuance. White flowers, citrus peel, chalk, mint and slate give this understated wine tons of detail. My only regret is not having been able to follow this for more time."
