This Chenin Blanc is made in the crisp, refreshing style. Very golden color. About medium bodied. Citrus and green apple on the nose. The lemon, apple, and especially fresh squeezed lime fruit has a youthful vibrancy. There is more than enough, possibly too much acid to hold things together and keep the palate cleansed. This is a wine for those who like a high pucker factor. Very clean, pure fruit flavors swimming in acid. There is a hint of flinty …

Refreshing. Pale in color with a bright nose of green apple. Flavors are crisp -- green apple, lime and floral notes. Salud!

Great QPR, easy drinking cocktail-chenin. Apples, pears, decent acidity. Nothing to complain about at the price. Extra delicious with a cheese plate (harder, saltier, nuttier cheeses).

Very clean and approachable, delightful with a cheese or risotto dish. Simple, but nothing off-putting, too grassy, or too citrus about this. Just a safe, even, clean Chenin Blanc. Weeknight worthy.

Beautiful nose of citrus, some watermelon, floral fragrence. Very crisp, acidic but smooth, lemony, citrus taste, mild spice at the end of the finish. Great summer wine, highly drinkable and recommended.

Abundantly likeable, lean and clean, with moderate acidity and borderline effervescence. Intriguing finishing flavors sustain for what seems like a solid minute. Fairly complex, mixing sharp pear and apple flavors with a creamy vanilla-nuttiness. Great bargain. Read my write-up: http://tinyurl.com/32xkc4v

Bright and clean. A touch richer than the '08. Apples. Ok. Very solid value.
