Touraine Sauvignon that would blow a lot of Sancerre off the table. Flinty, rich and bust-out ripe, like a lot of Loire ‘18s will be. Theft at $13-$15 retail.

Fruit forward in the nose and on the tongue. Another balanced dry porch wine for summer . It held its own with garlicky salad and turkey meat loaf.

Clear lemon yellow, crispy fresh tone of grape fruit, pineapple, chalk, herb white pepper, after couple of time, I could feel nuance of mango. Fruity attack with crispy acid and salty after.

the oily touraine texture is so distinct; i would love to see if i could place it in a blind tasting.

Fruity, herbaceous, dry with a tinge of toffee aftertaste

John & Erin

Erin: very light (nearly nonexistent) acidity, with a marbled, buttery finish. I wouldn't think this was a Sav Blanc, but rather a chenin blanc. 6 out if 10-- would probably go lovely with a spicy dish. Bring this instead of Chardonnay

John: very light acidity, not tart at all, really. Very smooth on the tongue. 7.5/10 as a wine, 6/10 as a sauv blanc (slightly more acidic with food)
