Llano Vinter's Selection Signature White NV Texas

Submitted by Bob Bacchus on Mon, 2010-06-07 12:00

A lightly sweet wine with more Chenin Blanc characteristics than anything else.

Although there's no breakdown of how much of each varietal was used in this wine, it's pretty clear that the Chenin Blanc got the lion's share as this wine, with it's pale yellow color, has a light tropical fruit taste (both for the nose and palette) as well as a sweetness much like a Chenin Blanc. Everything about it comes off as mild, the taste, the nose, the sweetness, and it's light finish. It's certainly not a White Zin, (a plus in my book) but it seems sweeter than other Chenin Blanc's I've tasted. Best for sipping on a hot day.

A better choice might be: 
Ballet of Angels NV White Blended Connecticut
Timbuktu 2006 Blend South Australia
