Minus Tide Sterling Ranch Chenin Blanc 2023 Review
Owners Kyle Jeffrey, Brad Jonas, and Miriam Jonas focus Minus Tide on bringing elegance and balance out of the rustic vineyard landscapes of California's Mendocino AVA. This wine is made from vines planted in 1980, and the age shows in the complex texture of this delicious wine. The nose is rich and flinty, and the palate has a nice grip with a good depth of fruit.
