Matanzas Creek Chenin Blanc 2024

This Chenin Blanc from Matanzas Creek presents a luminous straw hue, indicative of its vibrant character. The nose is a sophisticated interplay of honeysuckle, quince, and a whisper of wet stone, underscoring its varietal purity. On the palate, it reveals a precise balance of ripe pear and Meyer lemon, framed by a taut, mineral-driven acidity that lends a refreshing lift. Subtle notes of almond and chamomile emerge on the mid-palate, leading to a clean, lingering finish. This wine exemplifies the elegance and finesse typical of Sonoma's cool-climate expressions, making it a benchmark for New World Chenin Blanc.
