One of the finest Chenin Blancs made in the New World is the 2004 Chenin Blanc Christian, which boasts notes of honeydew melon, orange rind, and lemon oil. Lively, fresh, aromatically expressive, dry, and medium-bodied with loads of flavor as well as gorgeous underlying acidity, it should be enjoyed over the next 2-3 years.
