Great White Wines 2004 Chenin Blanc (Western Cape)

Best Buy

Price $9

This dry, refreshing white might surprise many tasters, as it did this reviewer. Expecting another undistinguished (to be generous) animal-label wine, found really unexpected flavorful, lively Chenin Blanc fruit and a crisp, cleansing palate feel. 10% of proceeds go to preserve this top-of-the-food-chain predator. — M.M.

Great White Wines 2004 Sauvignon Blanc (Western Cape)

Price $9

A clean, simple wine that’s very pale in color and on the rounder, pear-melon end of the grape’s profile. Mild spice notes show on the back end. Basic and mild, but correct, with reasonable typicity. — M.M. (12/15/2004)

Great White Wines 2004 Chardonnay (Western Cape)

Price $9

Another wine from the label with the smiling shark I’ve come to call Jovial Jaws. Simple, generic Chardonnay, with a bit-too-sweet-perfumy profile, though the palate is actually drier than the nose or close. This can pass muster at a large party or gallery opening. — M.M. (12/15/2004)
