It is really wonderful to find a California wine that hits the 5-6 dollar price point that is not only a good wine to drink but is also a little different and unique. This wine is so wonderfully fruity it seems to be much sweeter then it is. While the residual sugar is very low and the wine itself is quite dry the fruit is so clean and up front you really are inclined to call it sweet.
The mouthfeel is also really nice with a slightly viscous feel that good Chenin Blancs are known for. It is rich and even a tiny bit creamy in texture. As the wine warms a notes of vanilla and ginger emerge which just makes it that much more wonderful.
If you are looking for a nice inexpensive white wine that will please even the typical white zinfandel addict with out offending the chardonnay and sauvignon blanc drinker give this one a try. It would be hard to argue with this wine at 9-12 dollars a bottle but at 5-6 it is just honestly a steal.
