Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: May 22, March 7, January 4 and December 16.

Tasting note:

A refreshing white with aromas of white grapefruit and melon. Great aperitif or companion to many dishes, from seafood to chicken. Food matches: halibut, crab cakes, grilled chicken, sushi, cheese fondue.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

The 2009 Oldfields Series 2Bench White is a blend of 44% Chardonnay, 26% Sauvignon Blanc, 17% Semillon, 12% Viognier, and 1% Muscat. It is designed to be a complex, age-worthy screwtop wine. The Sauvignon Blanc was fermented in a stainless steel tank by itself while cofermentation occurred with the other varietals. The Semillon and Viognier were co-fermented together in stainless steel as were the Chardonnay and Muscat. The wines were blended together prior to bottling in March 2010.
