Crisp, citrus mix of tangerine and lemon, creamy and smooth, paired very nicely with a simple Branzino prepared in olive oil, lemon, and salt. — 5 months ago

Jammy, fruity, easy going, with a long fresh finish. Juicy raspberry, strawberry and plum, with a tingly acidity, slight tannin, and notes of dark chocolate, woody bark and some slight smoke, the medium body and dark rose color make for an elevated glou, the nose is slightly more floral, but still plenty of fruit, with a slight mushroom hint and great crunchy fruit. Really enjoyable, incredible value, great for easy drinking! — 6 months ago

Brilliant Sancerre with a very light oak influence. Great minerality with chalk and flint happily supporting grapefruit, lemon, apple and a whiff of cut grass. Great depth, firm acidity and very expressive. A tremendous example of upscale Sauvignon blanc — 6 years ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of 90 minutes. The 2023 pours pale pink color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with pretty notes of strawberry, raspberry, a mixed bouquet of flowers, watermelon and stony minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium and refreshing. Crush now with some good weather, some good mates and some light fare. — 5 months ago

Lovely, crisp, tart, floral aroma and lemon accents. Nice on its own or with a picatta-style meal. — 8 months ago

Star bright, very pale straw gold. Very inviting nose and medium palate of green apple, citrus rind, and mild chalky mineral. Medium acidity. Ready for your best seafood dishes or soft cheeses. Excellent example of the higher end of Sauvignon Blanc (but at a more midrange price). Drink now through 2024. — 5 years ago

Ethereal. Elaina: "cheese rind"-- 4 years in bottle made this a treat. Ripe summer tree fruits, incredible minerality, delicate florality. — 6 years ago

Beautiful dry sav blanc, and a fantastic value! Crisp, crystalline color with notes of green apple, sharp minerality, and a slight note of baked goods on the nose. Light bodied, with sharp crispness and acidity that tingles long after the first sip, with notes of lime rind, crisp green apple, white peach, and wet stone. The lime acid is very prominent! — 6 months ago

Rounded and quite plush on the nose. A little whiff of age… rounded and still quite fresh. Lacks the cut of the younger wines — 7 months ago

Expressions of stone fruit, delicate herbal notes (perhaps white flowers) and a slight hint of melon on the noise. Striking acidity, bright and mouth watering. Strong mineral backbone with a clean and refreshing lemon peel finish. Excellent. — 6 years ago

1st bottle is a deep gold and based on its smell it is obviously oxidized. Not at all similar to prior bottles of this and air didn't help. Bought via auction so maybe provenance is an issue. But second bottle is appropriate. Medium gold color with nice weight. Fruit forward in the nose with notes of sweet lemon, apricot, orange peel, stone, and a little earth. Rich and glycerol in the mouth. Lovely fruit forward tone, but with fine grained acidity that ratchets up complexity. In a perfect drinking window methinks. — 8 years ago
