Winery review:90 Points – Robert Parker

"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 nose was sweet with hints of orange and other citrus fruits. It had a light body with a melon mid pallet. The finish was very soft and enjoyable. I really enjoyed this wine. I tasted it with no food.
