Description: "It is our belief that Chenin Blanc (when made well) rivals some of the greatest white wines of the world. This wine was made from cool climate grapes, barrel fermented in French Oak, and aged for 9 months. Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah... REDISCOVER CHENIN BLANC!" The grapes for this wine come from Wilson Vineayrds. Undoubtedly, Ken Wilson grows the best Chenin Blanc in California at his vineyard in Clarksburg. For those who aren't familiar with Clarksburg, it is located west of Sacramento. It has a unique microclimate where the cool breezes from the Sierras and the Bay moderate the long hot days which allow the grapes to reach optimal maturity. I n addition to those ideal growing conditions, the grapes come from low yielding old vines which provide the intensity that makes our Chenin Blanc unique.
