Bellingham Chenin Blanc 2004
WO Coastal Region $19.95
Reminiscent of a nicely-oaked Chardonnay in style, but typically Chenin in flavour. Look for flavours in the peach-apricot zones with attractive musky, spicy notes. It has firm texture and excellent balance, and makes for a delicious aperitif wine or a partner to lightly spiced seafood or chicken dishes.
