"The 2023 Chenin Blanc Jurassic Park Vineyard is once again one of the most distinctive wines in this range. I admire its finely knit, taut personality. Slate, crushed rocks, mint, sage and lemon peel all grace this ethereal, translucent Chenin. There is so much to like here. What a beauty."

"Aromas of peaches and nectarines with some zesty tangerines on the palate, layered with a chalky mineral texture. Succulent and mouthwatering with medium body and a long finish. Delicious now but no rush."

"Concentrated, crunchy acidity and a firm body set the stage for this intense version, with white peach, nectarine and Honeycrisp apple, plus a touch of dried pineapple. Lemon thyme and freshly grated ginger linger on the finish. 148 cases made. - MW"
