This #sauvingnonblanc is pale yellow in the glass. Smells of lemon zest, nectarines, Asian pear, celery brine. Round on the palate. Fine powdery minerals, orange zest. Super refreshing. Opened 3/25/17

Less in your face than Marlborough SVs, but delightfully crisp with pineapple notes.

Oct 27th, 2024Not my usual white wine preference but it grew on me. Not much on the nose, light pineapple floral notes? Very pale yellow. Acidic but not lingering. Lots of green apple and rather perfumey. Pineapple and melon at the end.

Medium gold color. Juicy pineapple up front, tight acidity and citrus pith mid-palate with melon on the finish.

Tasted in 2014: Killer Loire Sauvignon for the price. Herbal aromas, grasses, flint, lemon, Granny Smith apples. Bright, light and acidic.

A fragrant Honeysuckle nose. Honey and citrus on the palate. A long acid with lemon, cantaloupe and apricot finish. This wine is big for a Sauvignon Blanc, but nicely balanced.

Nectarine, pear and honey goodness. Almost seems like a freakish Chardonnay. #france

Nice, tart Sauvignon Blanc, lemons, lemongrass... honey, pears, grapefruit... minerality...
More crisp and acidic and bright than the Marnier-Lapostolle Sancerre.
Can I drink wine with anyone who voted for Trump?!
Grasshoppers and baby lawn ornaments...
