Jeb Dunnuck Review
Rated 93
The 2023 White Clay Appellation Lujan de Cuyo is a blend of 52% Semillon and 47% Chenin Blanc, the Semillon from old vines and the Chenin grown on pergola to protect the grapes from undue sunlight exposure and preserve freshness. Together the light-bodied wine maintains a rounded mouthfeel and dense flavors of apricot accented in white flower. Gorgeous. Enjoy now through 2033. Drinking Window 2025-2033.
