"Grown in bright red granite soils and raised in Stockinger barrels, the 2023 Chenin Blanc Lyman Ranch is a bright straw hue and is striking and savory in the glass, with notes of fresh lemon pith, lime leaf, and white peach. Medium-bodied, linear, and vertical on the palate, it carves with mouthwatering citrus and a ripe acidity that's persistent but refreshing and has definition to it. It also reveals a delicate touch of white flowers and salty earth through the finish, with a floating feel on the back palate. An age-worthy white, it has a pristine feel and is going to drink well over the next 10 years."
