The bottle says notes of pear and cantaloupe with a slight hint of orange blossom. I wouldn't know, my palate is not that sophisticated. I started drinking this because as I got older I found that chardonnay, cheap or expensive, gave me heartburn. Badly. This wine does not and Beringer has a fine rep for making good wines at any price. Their Chenin Blanc goes down excedingly smooth and the fruit flavors do make it seem a bit sweeter than its relatively low sugar content would suggest. Goes well with any light fare, especially in the summertime. Try it and you may just put away your chardonnay. And your Tums.
