Leo Steen Chenin Blanc 2014
Chenin Blanc | United States
This lovely wine displays enticing aromas of citrus, lemon verbena, jasmine, chamomile and wild lemon thyme. Excellent natural acidity and a bone-dry palate add nerve and focus, underscoring the citrus and wildflower flavors.
As a winemaker, you learn over time that vineyards are like people—they are living, evolving entities that are shaped by the dual forces of nature and nurture. Some vineyards are beautiful and perfectly manicured; others eloquently show their years in the gnarl of their old vines, with roots that twist deep into the earth. What thrills and inspires me as a winemaker are vineyards that are rich in character, sites that translate into expressive and enthralling wines that give pleasure, but also make you think.
