Road 13 Old Vines Chenin Blanc 2014

Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOpen this wine in advance and let it stretch its legs a bit. Chenin from 1968 deserves time, and the complexities of this wine are best experienced with your patience. Herbal, savoury, thistle and honeysuckle aromas before a hefty, waxy, palate of quince, honey blossom, wild herbs, straw, citrus and swelling acidity, roundly balancing out a kiss of residual sugar. Phenolic and textured, the finish prickles with fine, ginger-rasped spices.Tasted: 08 December 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
