TN: 2022 Kinsman-Eades Aisana, Sauvignon Blanc / Sémillon

2022 Kinsman Eades, Aisana. Blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. These just landed the other day and I couldn’t wait to try it. I’m happy to say it’s as good if not better than what I was hoping for. Beautiful golden color and just a lovely nose of citrus and chamomile. On the palate, this is flat out delicious! When it first hit my lips I thought it might be sweeter than I expected but those fears are immediately replaced by a rush of lemon and floral tinged acidity that creates a really nice medium bodied mouth-feel and a slightly bitter/grassy note (in a good way) on the finish which adds intrigue. Very easy to drink but enough going on that you have to pay attention. I like this a lot right now but I bet it’s even better in 6 months to a year. Luckily I was able to snag 6 of these so I’m looking forward to finding out!

Only a 95?! It’s at least a 96. :wink:

Thanks for the tasting note! It sounds like it’s ready to go. I only bought 3 and may hold off to let the bottles settle in, but I am sure I’ll pop one around Christmas.

I had my 1st (of 6 bottles) this past Thursday. Your notes align with what I also thought. Great wine and I can’t wait to see how it evolves! (Pardon the choice of chilling vessel, I had limited options at a pizza shop)
