    Fine example of Chenin Blanc. Nice reminder to remember to not forget this once ruled California Whites.

    This wine was fruity but had an acrid, bitter aftertaste. This is one I would definitely not reorder.

    Chenin Blanc is my favorite white wine; however, this was the worst I have ever tasted. I would not ship this to any other members.

    everyone raved about this wine when I brought it out but sad to say I never got a chance to try because it was gobbled up too fast...all I can say is what everyone else said--"absolutely divine! Especially for a white!"

    Everthing was good but the wine lacked character. There was a fair amount of acid in the first sip that almost created puckerde lips but it was well balenced in the finish. I rate it a 2 because it is forgetable and lacks complexity.
