Perfectly just-maderized edge to this rich, complex blend. Hard to believe Chenin Blanc is the highest-% grape. Really satisfying weight, depth, length

Awesome South African white blend. Very textural. Dried pear, honeysuckle, and pineapple. Can't wait to revisit this one.

Didn't drink like I remembered it. Kind of flabby fat girl Chardonnay-like but with more going on. Higher acid, more interesting- but! I wish I'd started lighter with the food we were having. Lots of barnyard and butteriness with lemon notes. A cool wine but this particular bottle disappointed.

Sort of disappointed. The first sip was good and then some funk took over. Didn't suck but Adi's wines are usually more my thing. Had higher hopes...

Interesting, but it's a lot. Buttery and mineral with a nice zooid acid and citrus fruits. The Chenin joy goes missing, but a thoughtful wine. Not for everybody.

2010 white blend. Great for Bordeaux drinkers looking for a different wine. Reasonably priced.
