Made from 72% Chenin Blanc, 17% Roussanne and 11% Viognier, the 2021 Essay Chenin Blanc Viognier Roussanne is built for speed, not distance. The nose is fresh, bright and aromatic with lively citrus and peachy aromas, followed by hints of yellow apple and fresh-cut melon float out of the glass. Medium-bodied, the wine has a crisp essence that gives way to a delightful mineral tension and balanced structure, and it ends with a clean finish. Drink this excellent-value wine over the next 2 to 4 years.
