I called this RRV Sonoma SB 2015, due to the tree fruit nuances, however alas the p.fume has got me yet again. Not a fan so much of the 2017 vintage of this producer. Less complex, softer fruit, less mineral, and still ample acidity.

Light lemon in color.

Light on the nose with asparagus and green apple.

Light bodied with medium acidity.

Dry and crisp on the palate with green apples and lime.

Nice long elegant finish.

100% Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire.

Crisp, youthful, and refreshing. White flowers and grapefruit. The steely palate lingers with refreshing acidity. The kind of Puilly I'd recommend to someone who hasn't tried it.

Nice aroma of tropical pineapple and peach. However, it’s is very tart for a wine with some minerality.

Light and refreshing, but not remarkable. Can do better for the price.

Tasted in 2016: Strong aromas of citrus, gooseberry, smoke, flint, chalk, and young herbs.
