Reviewed April 2025One of the only Chenin Blancs made in Washington, this wine comes from very special vines across three sites, all planted in 1979, making them some of Washington's oldest, irrespective of variety. Fantastic fresh white florals, sweet white peaches and an alluring note of candied citrus. The palate is crisp and the fruit centered flavour profile shows rich honeydew melon, juicy Meyer lemon pulp and a touch of ripe mandarin, all of this carried on a streaking saline minerality through the finish.

The old vines in the 2024 Chenin Blanc Old Vines were planted in the 1970s, the grapes sourced from Willard Farms, Phil Church, and Upland. The wine spent time only in stainless steel. Inviting aromatics of peach and apricot follow through on the palate, along with a twist of green olive. The texture is creamy and long-lived. This is a nicely made, light-bodied wine that will continue to be enjoyable another 5-7 years. (VB)

Fragrant notes of jasmine, sliced pears and golden apples waft from the glass. It’s bright and creamy with a medium body. Pretty floral and mineral undertones to the fresh fruit. Drink now. (CN)
