Sweeter than one might expect,this SB delivers the food friendly citric acidity needed for a great food wine.

Too sharp. Too sweet. Trying hard to be something it's not.

Had some mindblowing Sancerre before this, so in comparison this was weak and lifeless. Fruity style Sauv Blanc, lots of Apple and melon with the trademark pleasant acidity, though dialed back. Nothing offensive but nothing transcendent.

Gooseberry, grass and grapefruit. Would be very tart and crisp if not for the slight oak flavor. Don't generally like Sauvignon blanc aged in oak.

2014 vintage - loads of citrus flavors and has a nice balance and structure with some integrated apple and unripe mango.
