VIKING VOUVRAY TENDRE - 2004

100% Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley with 12% alcohol.

TASTING NOTES:

Golden color with burnt match, lemon and yeast on the nose. Almost Champagne-like (minus the bubbles) in mouthfeel and structure. Tart apple, pear, citrus, minerals, are underscored by slight bread flavors.

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

90 PTS

Extremely polished, very crisp and refreshing. Acidity is in balance and doesn't overpower the fruit. Wonderful effort and value for $18.
