Tasting - The Royal Chenin Blanc

Name : The Royal Chenin Blanc
Variety : Chenin Blanc
Region : Swartland, Western Cape Region
Country : South Africa
Year : 2009
Price : $4.95
Critic Review :  "This wine packs a deceptive punch.  And that punch tastes of apples, pears and quince, with an appealing herbal note that helps it pair well with salads and other light fare.  Don't drink it too cold, or you might miss all the fruit." - Washington Post (June 2012)
My Review : This wine smelled and tasted very fruity and a little bit tart.  I would say that it was very acidic and the after taste was a little bit bitter.  It was very light and refreshing but not my favorite.
I did not have this wine with food.
