Pouilly Fume Sauvignon Blanc
Pouilly-Fumé, Central Vineyards, Loire Valley, France
Star bright pale straw. Inviting nose of green apple and orange rind, echoed on the medium light palate with classic flinty mineral mid palate to finish. Excellent “original” Fumé from a top Loire producer. Ready for shellfish (most naturally), classic white wine fare, or your favorite soft to medium cheese plate. Drink now through 2030.

Great example of Sauvignon Blanc - light on its feet, mineral packed, exhibiting a bouquet of lemongrass, white pears, underripe grapefruit, white pepper, jasmine, and a zip of acidity to brighten it up.

The mouth feel Reminds of a very light bodied Chardonnay in some ways but has that citrusy Sauvignon Blanc kick. I think I like it a lot?

Grapefruit, flint, grassy herbs, Meyer lemon, and hints of chalk. Drinks very easily without being boring. Refreshing with a delicate, but tasty finish. Great for these 110 F Phoenix summers.

Straw hue. Fresh, tart apple, pear, and citrus notes with delicate floral, chalky and stone influences. Lively on the palate — opening it up — and complementary of the dish. Vintage 2018. ABV 12.5%.

Not a white drinker but this is great - cheese and prosciutto pairing quite perfectly

First dinner with Duszaks and brought as sister wine. ASB but distinctly different profile although still varietal similarity that's more fruit and acids with a lift on finish. A lighter wine on its feet than Reverdy and also a terrific wine. Also did not pair perfectly but did reasonably well.
