Leo Steen sources this Chenin Blanc from Santa Ynez Valley's Jurassic Vineyard, where the soils contribute to wines with mineral character. The producer specializes in natural winemaking across multiple varieties, emphasizing minimal intervention techniques.

This textured expression balances ripe stone fruit with saline minerality. The finish shows wet stone character that may reflect the vineyard's geological foundation, making it a compelling example of California Chenin Blanc's potential.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 87
"The 2021 Chenin Blanc The Steen Jurassic Vineyard is a quirky, exotic wine. Orchard fruit, spice, mint and dried flowers are some of the notes that take shape in the glass. There's a slightly oxidative quality that adds to the wine's strong and distinctive personality. I find this style a bit too odd for my liking. Some readers might find more pleasure here than I do." -Antonio Galloni

What importer Polaner Selections has to say about this wine...

Vineyard
Planted in 1982, the sustainably farmed Jurassic Vineyard in Santa Ynez Valley is situated on rolling hills at an elevation of approximately 1,100 feet. The vineyard takes its name from the site’s fossil-rich soils. These well-drained, limestone-laden sandy soils produce small vines and clusters. Jurassic’s own-rooted Chenin Blanc vines produce a beautifully textured wine with abundant minerality and exotic fruit.
Vinification
This wine underwent a few hours of skin contact before being whole-cluster pressed and fermented in a concrete egg.
Aging
Because our goal is to spotlight the age-worthy complexity of Jurassic’s fruit, this wine spent 10 months in a concrete egg before being transferred to neutral oak for five more months prior to bottling. To allow it ample time to evolve and integrate, it was given an additional 16 months of aging in bottle.
