2022 Chenin Blanc - Chen Vineyard, Adelaida District Retail: $45 Wine Club $36

The nose has a certain richness, displaying ripe pear and lychee, perhaps some pineapple; there is a tickle of garden herbs, as always, the ever-present limestone minerality underlies all. The palate shows a delicate pineapple core and soft lemon pith with hints of grassiness, and the richness of the nose shows a glycerin texture on the palate. Classic.

2022 Points West White -  Old Oak Vineyard, Creston Ridge Vineyard Retail: $40 Wine Club $32

61% Roussanne, 18% Vermentino, 14% Grenache Blanc, 7% Picpoul Blanc 

On the nose, ripe white peaches, hami melon with some vanilla bean. There is an alluring, sweet herbed walnut note; the nose is intricate and balanced. This wine hits the palate with fine acidity, tingling pineapple, a squeeze of sweet lime, or perhaps its crushed leaf. But there is depth and richness here: lemon meringue pie!! An outstanding balance of acid and depth that carries long on the finish.

2022 Riesling - Wirz Vineyard, Cienega Valley 

This Riesling continues in the tradition of our inaugural ‘21 vintage—racy acidity in the glass with just a smidge of residual sugar to tame it. Herbal notes of fresh thyme give way to citrus rind and honey blossom.
