2022 Aperture Cellars Chenin Blanc | Clarksburg, North Coast California 750ml

Our 2022 Chenin Blanc is a vibrant and bright wine, coming from old vines planted in the 1940s. It is a product of its rich clay loam soils and colder, brisk nights that are made possible by the Delta Breeze coming in off the San Francisco Bay. | Aperture Cellars

Matured mostly in stainless steel, with smaller portions in neutral French oak and cement. It's bursting with alluring scents of kumquat, kiwi, white peaches and gravel dust. It's a pretty expression with Goldilocks ripeness. The palate features a focused spine of acidity that drives its concentrated, expansive flavors, and it has a long finish that seems to gain in intensity with each sip. | 93 points, Erin Brooks for Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate
