Chenin Blanc

2009 Santa Barbara County Chenin Blanc

The Lucas & Lewellen Chenin Blanc, hailing from the scenic Santa Barbara County, presents a lovely expression of this versatile varietal. This 2009 vintage delights the senses with its bright acidity, offering a refreshing mouthwatering quality that beautifully balances the moderately pronounced fruit intensity. You can expect notes of ripe stone fruit, complemented by subtle floral hints that create an inviting aroma. The wine showcases a light, crisp body, making it a perfect companion for a variety of dishes, from seafood to light salads. With its bone-dry character, this Chenin Blanc is undeniably food-friendly, ensuring a delightful experience on any occasion. A charming representation of Santa Barbara's winegrowing region, it reflects the area's unique terroir and winemaking craftsmanship.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
