2021 L'Ecole No. 41 Old Vines Chenin Blanc, Columbia Valley, USA (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES: 

A standout Chenin Blanc! With pronounced aromatics which range from citrus peel to fresh stone fruit, laced with white floral flourishes, it is vibrant and energetic. In the mouth, flavors burst forward with tropical kiwi and guava, completed by a snappy quince note. An exceedingly interesting and tasty wine, its complexity persists to a vibrant finish.

TASTING NOTES:

Dried herbs, citrus pitch, and lemon blossom notes, as well as some spicy nuances, all emerge from the 2021 Chenin Blanc Old Vines, a medium-bodied, nicely balanced, lively example of the variety. It's going to shine on the dinner table and keep for 4-5 years, if not longer.
