A little sweet for my taste, but a solid Chenin blanc all the same. Lots of cantaloupe and honeydew with notes of citrus and apple. Little bit of slate-like minerality. Good acidity and overall fairly balanced. Would probably be good with prosciutto.

Nice balance of fruit, mineral, and not overly tart. Nice stone fruit. Had with pork tenderloin.
