Pie dough, honey, fusel and lemon curd nose. Bright acidity with lemon pith, green apple on the palate. Solid value👍

Great for the price. Lots of biscuit and minerality with a touch of creaminess and a nice acidity.

Honey and lemon. On the sweeter side for a sauv, less acidic and tart than I classically like, good for price

This is really fun! Definitely melon, dragonfruit, leads with apple as well and finishes with oak and a creaminess due to the Sur Lie. Nice smooth finish. Currently loving French wine and this is a great wine for the price, way above what I would expect!

Dry, hint of sweetness, slightly tart with a clean finish. Fragrant with green apple, honey, and floral aromas. Great value for a Loire white - $6.99 at Trader Joes. 2015 vintage.

Too light for me. Basically just light grape flavored water.
