Loved their Sauvignon Blanc. Nose of citrus, tropicals, stone fruits and white florals. On the palate; ripe, fresh; stone fruits-white peach, nectarine, peach, pineapple, melon balls, delicate, soft minerality, amazing high, soft, round acid with beautifully fragrant yellow and white florals. Photos of the grandparents or Aunt's corkscrew collect and their tasting room.

The most mineral and least fruit driven Sauv Blanc tasted. Citrus and mineral dominate, with a bit of austere depth. Even more mineral than Sancerre
