Field Recordings Chenin Blanc Jurassic Park Vineyard '22

The 2022 Field Recordings Chenin Blanc from Jurassic Park Vineyard is a beautifully balanced wine that showcases the character of the Santa Ynez Valley’s legendary vineyard. The vines, planted in the late 1970s, continue to produce exceptional fruit, and this vintage highlights the versatility and complexity of Chenin Blanc. Aromas of Anjou pear, Meyer lemon, spiced apple, and almond cookies lead into a palate with striking flavors of cardamom, Key Lime pie, and a touch of spruce. With an ABV of 11.2%, the wine is fresh, lively, and full of character, representing one of the vineyard’s most iconic expressions. This wine has earned a 92-point rating from Wine Enthusiast, which describes it as having a unique balance of clean lemon peel aromas and earthy, wool-like hints. The palate features a waxy texture and flavors of rocks, wool, and dried citrus peel, along with pastry notes that appear mid-palate. With its incredible versatility, this Chenin Blanc pairs well with a wide range of dishes, from roasted meats like chicken and turkey to shellfish, cheese, and even desserts like vanilla and caramel. The Jurassic Park Vineyard, located near Los Olivos, is sustainably farmed, with the 9.3-acre vineyard being a prized source for this expressive and legendary wine.
