Shop/wine critic/winery review: "One of the greatest buys I have tasted this year is this under $10, 100% Chenin Blanc from the Western Cape. A super flowery-scented nose includes notions of ripe honeydew melons and pears. This medium-weight, fresh, fruity, crisp, dry, textbook Chenin Blanc will provide immense pleasure over the next 12 months."
My review: The initial sniff was fruity, sweet, and floral. As for taste, it tasted like honey and melon. There was slightly a dusty undertone to this wine, which I found pleasant. A little dry. There was a low tannic and crisp finish. I enjoyed this wine with pepper jack cheese.
