Chenin Blanc 'Horseshoe Vineyard'

"This is an amazingly elegant Chenin Blanc. Crystal clean and fascinating, the nose begins with the sense of walking through spring wildflowers in a sea breeze. The palate aligns with brisk flavors of Asian pear, Rainier cherry and the faintest hint of wool."

"Only the second iteration of this bottling, the 2022 Chenin Blanc Horseshoe Vineyard is succulent on the nose, with bright, lifted aromas of tangerine, nectarine, citrus peels and white flowers. Slightly softer and less tensile on the palate than the Mt. Pajaro offering, it has a beautiful purity and grace, concluding on a tangy yet elegant note. This displays more depth and complexity than the previous vintage, and judging by the overall performance of white wines in this vintage, it will undoubtedly improve with a few years in the cellar."

"The 2022 Chenin Blanc Horseshoe Vineyard is a delight. Soft and caressing, the 2022 graces the palate with pure class. Orchard fruit, chamomile, white flowers and dried pear are all seamless on the palate. Aeration brings out gorgeous citrus and floral overtones to balance things out. This inviting, creamy Chenin can be enjoyed right out of the gate."
