Best Buy

Price $10

What a fascinating blend, this combination of Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay. The natural acidity of the Chenin gives a great, fresh mouthfeel, while the fat Chardonnay broadens out the palate.

Price $14

Ripe and soft, perfumed and floral, this is pure fruit, a pear- and peach-flavored wine with a hint of toast and almonds. It is clean as a mountain stream, so fresh, but with some weight. And just look at the alcohol—11.5% That’ll save your falling off your bar stool. Screwcap. — R.V. (9/1/2010)

A delicious wine, the Chenin Blanc giving both mineral and spice flavors, contrasting with the richer Chardonnay. Apricot and sweet melon flavors are supported by a fine, surprisingly complex structure. Fresh currants mark the refreshing finish. — R.V. (2/1/2009)

A wine that juxtaposes the acidity of Chenin with the richness of Chardonnay and ends up with a mellifluous whole. It is both apple crisp and melon ripe, lively and broad. And, as always, a great value. — R.V. (3/1/2011)
