Region:  The Western Cape
Country: South Africa
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95
Wine Critic 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 wine smelled like fresh apples, peaches, and other exotic fruits. The wine tasted like peaches, citrus fruit, lemon, melon, and was similar to the Norton Sauvignon Blanc I tried right before it. I enjoyed this wine and did not have it with any food.
