Professional Review: Long notes as the champion grape of the Loire Valley, Chenin Blanc exhibits floral melon and tropical fruit characteristics which provide a spring board for seductive fruit forward wines that exhibit rich, mineral driven undertones of crisp acidity. Chenin Blanc is a delightful alternative to other white wines on the market and we believe it is time to reveal what Texas Chenin Blanc is all about.

My Review: I got hints of minerals/wet stones, and a bit of fruity, acidic zest. I was surprised by this wine because it actually had some body. I tasted some honeyed/honeysuckle on the front palate and with was sharp, tartaric in the back. It had a great finish. This was a good white that would stand out from the competition. I had this wine at a tasting without a meal.
