(Wine Advocate Score 92) On the nose, the 2018 The FMC is an elegant wine with a complex fruits, showing apples, melon and citrus with integrated oak tones and white flowers. The palate reveals more complexity and structure than the nose leads one to believe. With a waxy concentration and remarkable depth to the mid-palate, there are fruity and oaky flavors that spring forth, with well-defined structure, complexity and finesse. Medium to full-bodied, it is pleasurable, grippy and clean with a long, thoughtful finish. This is incredibly well made. It fermented with native yeasts and spent 12 months on the lees in new French oak. With Chenin Blanc like this, it's no wonder that Ken Forrester has earned the nickname "Mr. Chenin Blanc." 27,000 bottles were made.
