Ballentine 2007 Pocai Vineyard Old Vines Chenin Blanc (Napa Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Chenin Blanc
Winery: Ballentine / Pocai Vineyard Old Vines

Always an interesting, exotically offbeat wine, Ballentine’s ’07 is particularly crisp and savory. It’s showing pineapple, green apple, tangerine, fig, vanilla and honey flavors that finish with a clean, dry streak of minerality. Very nice as an alternative to Viognier or Sauvignon Blanc.
