Sipping Fine Wine

7.5

Straw with aromas of sweet stone fruits. On the palate peach and honey. Wine is a little sweet for a Chenin, lacks structured acidity and complexity, a bit off. Medium finish, ok but I would pass. Tasting Sample.

Nose: honey, lemon candy, ripe bananas, tropical fruit. White flowers. Yellow bell peppers. Lanolin.

Palate: just a tiny pop of residual sugar. Lemon juice but controlled acid (medium-plus). Lavender. Honeysuckle.
