  90 Points – Robert Parker
  "One of the greatest buys I have tasted this year is this under $10, 100% Chenin Blanc from the Western Cape. A super flowery-scented nose includes notions of ripe honeydew melons and pears. This medium-weight, fresh, fruity, crisp, dry, textbook Chenin Blanc will provide immense pleasure over the next 12 months."
• My Review: This wine yielded a floral scent, with tones of citrus and grape. I found this wine to taste very smooth, tangy/fruity, and dry. Overall, I though this was a solid wine, although it was difficult to differentiate this wine from the Sauvignon Blanc at this tasting.
