Not shabby at all for a wine selected to go into a sauce. Makes for excellent sipping while cooking.

Funky cold Medina nose. Flavor is bark and pine resin. Unripe apples. Very strange stuff. But I’m a fan. Is this a classic Loire?

The 2016 is pretty similar if a bit softer and fuller. It’s nice too though.

Inexpensive but strong aftertaste.

I love this Sauv Blanc; not super citrus forward, dry. Easy drinking. Priced well.

aromas are vegetal/cabbage, stone, a little smoke, underripe peach or nectarine
flavors show grass, little almond, lemon on the finish. fairly acidic. should have a clump of grass on the label instead of a flint.

Has everything in a good Sauvignon Blanc but the finish - citrus, smooth, light. Great everyday wine.
