Wine Review: This clear and pale straw-colored Chenin Blanc from Dry Creek Vineyard opens with a quince and lemon bouquet with hints of golden delicious apple, geranium, and chamomile tea. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round and fresh. The flavor profile is a quince and lemon blend with notes of chamomile tea and white peach. I also detected hints of honey, nectarine, and stony minerality. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity drift away nicely. This wine paired very well with chicken piccata. Enjoy - Ken
Winemaker Notes: The 2025 vintage opens with lifted aromas of jasmine, geranium, honeydew melon, white peach, and pear, accented by hints of guava, cucumber, watermelon rind, kiwi, and wintergreen. The vibrant palate mirrors the nose with flavors of mandarin, lemon curd, and stone fruit, balanced by lively acidity and a moderate alcohol level that makes it endlessly refreshing.
