Big and round, with an oatmeal-esque texture, this is a sumptuous bottling with an effusive nose. Rich and boldly styled, yet not overwhelmingly so, it brims with freshly baked brioche flavors. The wine’s Sherried and brothy notes show it is beginning to evolve. Its mild acidity feels subtly and seamlessly infused into the full body. This is definitely hitting its prime. Bright, bold and fun, this is a great alternative to Chardonnay as well as a lovely expression of Chenin Blanc. Drink now—2018.
