Dry and bitter. Crushed white rocks, lime zest, underripe apple, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Great wine and one I'm pleased to have it as my local store found it for me based on a favorite from my trip to Loire. Apple, melon, some lemon and a good deal minerality. Moment of honey.

Young sauvignon blanc from the Loire Valley with none of the excess sulfites so common in other climates and fruits galore - passion fruit in particular.

Yellow stone fruit on freshly cut grass and crushed rock. Round and quite mellow on the palate with well integrated wood and a fresh, slightly spicy mineral note towards the finish. Good precision and poise even if it lacks a bit of depth. Better with food.

A Sauv Blanc that's is cool but savory like a briny ocean breeze
