Washington Post Review: "This wine packs a deceptive punch. And that punch tastes of apples, pears and quince, with an appealing herbal note that helps it pair well with salads and other light fare. Don't drink it too cold, or you might miss all the fruit."
My Review: I tried this wine at the Vintage Cellar tasting specifically mad for the Geography of Wine class. Some more information that I was given was this is an unwooded Chenin Blanc and was made from 48 year old vines. I found this wine to be high in alcohol, I could taste it as soon as I took my first taste and it brought with it a "heating" sensation. I also felt this wine was sour. But the combination I actually enjoyed and would gladly drink this wine again but next time I believe I would enjoy it more with some food.
