Shop Review: "The 2015 Chenin Blanc offers loads of melony fruit interspersed with hints of honeysuckle and peach. It is delicious, crisp, fresh, lively, and a dead ringer for a good Loire Valley Chenin Blanc. Drink it over the next year."
My Review: I was told, via the review, this had hints of honeysuckle. I grew up picking honeysuckles and eating them like it was my job. I'm not an amateur honeysuckler... I can assure you I got no hints of honeysuckle from this. I envy those individuals who did, because all I recall is a mouthful of crisp white wine. I suppose the wine wasn't bad, with the exception of crushed expectations.
