Wine Review: This almost clear colored Chenin Blanc from Chappellet opens with a mild white peach and ocean breeze bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, pleasantly acidic and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a tasty lemon verbena and white tea blend with hints of minerality, grapefruit and a dash of white pepper. The finish is dry and it gracefully fades away. The Panel suggested pairing it with baked tilapia or a seafood casserole. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: This vibrant and enticing expression of mountain-grown Chenin Blanc offers a beautiful nose of Meyer lemon, minerality, stone fruit, lychee and fresh-cut hay. On the palate, lively acidity underscores flavors of citrus, green apple and delicate tropical fruit, keeping everything fresh and bright.
