Chenin Blanc – 2015; Compass Rose Cellars; Hye, Texas

This classic white wine from the former Compass Rose winery days is drinking well now. The fruit was sourced from Martin’s Vineyards of the Texas High Plains AVA.  It has a pale golden hue and maintains some of its aromatics.  Apples and tropical fruit notes are the first to greet you upon the initial pour. That first sip brings with it notes of crisp pears with a touch of peachiness. The acids are bright along with a clean refreshing finish.  This wine is a fantastic and refreshing sipper on a warm afternoon.  It is on parr with may fine Chenin Blancs and a delight to find in the cellar aging beautifully.  Enjoy!
