Lang & Reed Chenin Blanc Mendocino 2022

Varietal: 100% Chenin Blanc

From Talmage Bench vineyard in Mendocino County, located on the East side of the Russian River. The majority of the vines were planted in 1978 on a gentle, north-facing slope with excellent aspect that allows for great drainage and even ripening without too much heat accumulation. Aged in French oak and stainless steel for 6-months.

270 cases produced.

Tasting Notes: Engaging aromas of mixed stone fruit, lychee, and honeysuckle are followed by similar flavors on the palate with a lifting texture that includes a touch of varietal beeswax. The flavors linger with a pleasant mix of fruit and other savory impressions. The firm acidity both assists in supporting the middle richness, as well as providing for a bright, mouthwatering, and refreshing wine.
