Score 93/100 · Drink 2023-2031, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Aug 2023

The 2021 Chenin Blanc (Amador County) has a bit more body and weight than the Lodi Chenin. Orchard fruit, pear, spice, mint and dried flowers all meld together. Pliant and resonant, with bright acids, the Amador Chenin is super. Sadly, production is all of three barrels.

Planted in 1979 on quartz and granite. Pale straw. Lively and much better balanced than the Lodi version because there is much more obvious fruit. (JR)
