NEW ARRIVAL

LAVENTURE CHLOE PASO ROBLES

The 2017 Cuvee Chloe offers up a rich, spicy nose, perhaps influenced by some Viognier stems in there by accident, along with hints of white pepper and cocoa. On the palate, it's full-bodied, rich and not too firm. It's still an infant, so it's hard to say much more, but it seems promising and potentially a bit more supple and open-knit than the 2016 rendition.
