Variety: 100% Chenin Blanc (Old Vine)
Region: Western Cape
Country: South Africa
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95
Winery review: Robert Parker: 90 pts
"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: This lovely drink had a wonderful bouquet of poignant pear and tickly flowers. I just had to give it a second sniff. Upon tasting -- my favorite part-- this wine was sweet and reminded me of tropical candy gazing upon the sun set. Some heat, but i like that in whites. Would serve to snobby wine-o father.
