Score 93/100 · Drink 2025-2033, Matthew Luczy, Wine Advocate, Oct 2025

My favorite of this set of white wines from Lone Madrone is the 2023 Chenin Blanc, sourced from dry-farmed vines planted in 1964 at Chen Vineyard and aged for 16 months in neutral puncheons. It leads with a complex, dynamic bouquet of beeswax, orchard fruits and crushed stones with a focused, herbal note appearing after aeration. The palate is silken, rich and focused, releasing into a refined, refreshing and mineral-laden finish that lingers with impressive length.

The 2023 Chenin Blanc Chen Vineyard wafts up with an expressive bouquet, where a burst of savory herbs and shaved lemon rinds mix with crushed green apples. Within, it is soothingly round and perfumed, blending green melon tones with nuances of raw almond and spice. The finish is long yet fresh, leaving a salty sensation and tactile mineral tones that add lovely form.
