TASTING NOTE: Chenin Blanc is a remarkably versatile grape variety. Known primarily for its expressions from the grape's classic home in France's Loire Valley and the grape's adopted home in South Africa, it's also seeing a resurgence in the vineyards of California. This wine is made in a crowd-pleasing style and offers ripe pear, peach and lime fruit with good balance plus a round texture. Chill and sip, or pair with barbecued chicken or pork.
