Vinum Cellars 2005 Chenin Blanc, CNW
(over 2 years ago) buddy icon wineaux 82.0/100
While I still prefer my Chenin Blanc to have the word Vouvray on it, this isn't a bad little summer sipper. The oak is mild (being French and only for 9 months) enough to impart a hint of roundness in the mouth, but not enough to drown the acidity. This is definitely a dry wine, with nice tropical fruit and a crisp finish of citrus. Paired with an Asian Shrimp Noodle dish.

another successful impulse purchase! i really like this. nice tight tropical fruit, and i cant quite place the nose (but its lovely). a bit fruity but well balanced. not particularly sophisticated but very easy drinking. this wine has perfect oak balance -- you barely taste it, but its there to add just the right amount of body.
