Exotic and eccentric. Probably the most herbaceous wine I've ever tasted. Reminds me of when I was a little kid, growing up in Oklahoma, and would run around in the fields around our neighborhood. Wildflowers, tall grass, bergamot, and herbal tea, with a dry stone finish. Only for the adventurous... and I actually mean that in the roughing-it kind of way... if you don't camp or hike in the heat, then this isn't for you. There's a certain amount pain that goes along with it that you'll need to endure.

Smells like cheese. Tastes funky and almost like spoiled dairy.

Bright, clean and focused with lingering salinity on a lasting finish. Very Sancerre like and well done for $11.
