The floral-scented, off-dry 1992 Chenin Blanc possesses pretty spring flower garden scents, light body, freshness, subtle fruit, and a crisp, straightforward finish. It should be consumed over the next 12 months.

This huge Washington state winery is clearly on top of its game, offering fine wines at prices that should satisfy everyone from frugal penny pinchers to spendthrift connoisseurs. Their white wines, which are all notable values, are totally different, yet all share impeccably pure, crisp personalities. Chateau Ste. Michelle has always made good Chenin Blanc, and their floral, honey-scented, medium-bodied, slightly off-dry 1990 offering is an ideal summer sipping wine. Their sensational white wine values are perfect for drinking over the next 8-18 months.
