Chappellet, Napa Valley () Chenin Blanc 2019

Sep 1, 2020

By Rich Cook

 This bottling has become a national standard bearer for Chenin Blanc in the USA, and the 2019 vintage shows no signs of wanting to give up the job.  The melon and citrus flavors are carried by supportive acidity that shies away from sharp edges and provides a burst of flavors in the finish.  There’s a hint of pith that serves to add some depth, making this an all around pleasure to drink.  If you’re looking to upgrade your warm weather cocktail glass this is a fine way to go.
