Pale straw colour; green and red apples, almonds and warm wool on the nose; well balanced palate with medium+ acidity and a dry finish, some bitterness on the back palate typical for Chenin Blanc.
Would buy again for $20-25

too cold to analyze at first, with blistering acidity the dominant characteristic. pale & clear, as it warmed, subtle peach & lemon zest notes emerge; delicate in body; lemon drop candy & tart nectarine; intensely acid finish. will bottle age integrate the tart citrus spine?
hickory-smoked pork banh mh w/liverwurst & zucchini pickle; steamed sweet corn with butter & fleur de sel (the wine screamed w/this); warm cabbage & cherry tomato slaw w/maple bacon lardons. pretty challenging for any wine but the chenin did OK

Continues to be very solid stuff. I reckon the finish is not as good as it was in the 2009 vintage but I think the overall mouthfeel is better. Great value.

Crisp apple flavours with some chalkiness. Good length. Overall really enjoyed this wine.

Had with baked white fish.
Slightly sweet, with flavors, of honey, apple, apricot and a floral nose.
Solid wine, especially for the money.
Lots of better choices, but need to spend some more.
Would drink again, but not search out to buy anymore.
