T. Berkley Wines, Mendocino County (California) Chenin Blanc 2021

May 14, 2024

By Miranda Franco

 Crafted by T. Berkley Wines, the Norgard Vineyard Chenin Blanc 2021 offers layered aromas of yellow apple, lemongrass, lemon, lime zest, and hints of honeysuckle.  It is rich and finely poised on the palate, glimmering with brisk acidity.  Layers of yellow fruit follow and flesh things out before a final wash of minutes-long minerality brings it to a close.  It is delicious now and, for years to come, a master class in what makes Chenin Blanc special.
