87-88: I'm not a huge fan of dry Chenin, but this wine is really pretty and quite masterful. I've looked and looked at the description and reviews, and I never could tell if this wine had residual sugar or not. Well, the nose is floral and very pretty, but it definitely has a 'dry' nose. The palate is really well balanced. It's got great, ripe, floral fruit, but the finish is dry. It lacks the bite of a South African CB. Really well done and very impressive!

Yellow pear, lemon, and honey on the nose, very light bodied, crisp and just the right touch of sweetness. I'm a huge fan of Alexandra's 2018 chenin and this reserve is honestly even better. Absolutely delectable!
