2023 L'Ecole No. 41 "Old Vine" Yakima Valley Chenin Blanc

Lemon sorbet and sage mix with wet stones and dusty dried flowers as the 2023 Chenin Blanc Old Vines evolves in the glass. This is wickedly fresh, with a citrus tinge up front followed by ripe pit fruits and inner herbal tones. A core of zesty acidity lends energy. The 2023 tapers off with a citrus concentration and pleasant chew, leaving behind perfumed inner florals and a lovely mineral tinge. This is fantastic and represents a remarkable value. (EG)
