What to Expect

Chenin Blanc is one of the world's least-known and appreciated great white wine grapes. Originally from France's Loire Valley, Chenin Blanc has spread around the globe and is used for virtually all styles of white wine, from crisp and lean to rich, round full table wines, sparkling wines, and some of the most decadent dessert wines made. Classic descriptors for the flavors of Chenin Blanc include peach, honey, lanolin, marzipan, and quince jelly though the dry style from South Africa, where the wines are known as Steen, often exhibits more tropical fruit notes that recall pineapple and guava.

In many ways, this wine is typically American...some of the flavor notes are a bit too big for this wine to pair well with food. That being said, it was delicious, crisp, and super-quaffable, which makes it a good wine for me.

The 2003 vintage exhibits fragrant aromas of fresh pear, melon, pink grapefruit, white nectarine and a very slight touch of lichee. The characteristic crisp, bright balance of the wine is complemented by succulent flavors of pear, melon, grapefruit and white nectarine. The long, juicy finish shows a return of pink grapefruit notes. Enjoy now or cellar for two years.
