Dry with Medium acidity and nice quality of candied pear. A bit light on flavor for the perception of alcohol that feels higher than the labeled 13%. Crisp medium body. Dry Creek Vineyards is a bastion of American chenin blanc and this wine shows that the variety can't be written off.

Loire-Style Chenin Blanc. Very floral on the nose with hints of spices, lanolin and melon. The pallet is full of honeydew and water melons, lemon and light pepper spice. Smooth finish. Reasonable balance.

Honey, honeysuckle, and pears on the nose. Very floral. Almost sweet in the mouth. Golden delicious apples and more pears.

2016 vintage. Good example of dry Chenin. Rounded fruit flavors, yellow pear, lemon pith, melon, straw, chamomile. Love that they put technical data on the front label!

Great value! It has good acidity. It's fresh and grassy with citrus and mineral notes. The residual sugar isn't really coming through. It drink almost like a NZ Sauv Blanc. Had it with grilled shark, grilled veggies and mash.

Nice floral and fruity (largely melon) elements. Solid crispness and light acidity.
