Beginning with a medium straw color, the nose offers yellow apple skin and citrus notes before under-ripe peach and wax melon sway into focus of the nose of the 2022 Old Vine Chenin Blanc. Medium-bodied, the palate shows surprising weight and texture before unpacking a spicy and succulent kiss of phenolic bitterness with hints of lees with a soft nutty flavor of sautéed almonds. The wine concludes with a delightfully lingering, food-friendly finish. Enjoy it with fresh salads and shellfish. 91+ points
