A £52 white Graves that's a lovely drop that should improve 👍 Loaded with rich minerals 💥 maybe too much 🤔
🍇 80% Sauvignon & 20% Semillon
🍷 Golden yellow
👃 Soft lemon, lime & honey w/ smashed minerals, gravel, cracked vanilla pods & hints of yellow banana & unripe pear
👄 Med+ body of creamy young green apples, pear & citrus fruits buried in mineral rocks w/ herby grass tone
🎯 Long mineral driven unripe green & citrus fruits w/ green herbs - at one with nature - descale your teeth after this 😁 — 9 years ago
Nice change from the usual. Grass on the nose & apricots on the tongue. Not any citrus. Very enjoyable. — 10 years ago
Really nice wine surprised it was blended with Chardonnay (I think 15%) fresh herbal aromas cut grass — 10 years ago
Loads of flavor, bright acidity. Nice mineralogy and touch of grass — 10 years ago
Super interesting. My first white Bordeaux. Herbaceous. Grass. Grapefruit, but not bitter. Very different from whites I usually drink. — 11 years ago
Unbelievable, a bright styled Sav Blanc with peach and lemon grass. I think this is my favorite Sav Blac out of the US, going to get a case next. — 11 years ago
Mineral grass and bright citrus. Great way to kick off a weekend — 11 years ago
Love this one. Smells like grass and peppers. It tastes like pineapples, and maybe some hay from the old barnyard. — 11 years ago
Pronounced intensity, with aromas of green bell pepper, asparagus, apricot, and freshly cut grass. On the palate, lychee, grapefruit, lemon, and bell pepper with a long finish. — 13 years ago
Another great crisp wine from my favorite region! Aromas of fresh cut grass and cool sea air!! (From 9/2017) — 9 years ago
Grapefruit, white pear, mango & cut grass. Nice light wine delicious crisp fragrant. — 9 years ago
Yellow to almost green-yellow in color, good clarity. Grass, floral, and honey crisp apple on the nose, apricot and slightly mineral on the palate with crisp acidity. — 10 years ago
Very pale yellow, almost devoid of color. The nose is bright and alive with ripe honeydew melon, green fig, citrus zest, alfalfa sprouts, and fresh grapefruit juice. Gorgeous flavors come in waves; tangerine, citrus oils, lime, lemon zest, lemongrass, cara cara orange, white grapefruit. The acidity is literally laser focused, like the edge of a perfectly sharpened chef's knife. Minerality comes towards the end; clean, white river stones, granite. Hints of wheat grass and radish mix with wet stones on the long lingering finish. This will get even better over the next 5 years. One of the last wines from the true Jedi Master of Sauvignon Blanc. — 10 years ago




Scents of grass, complex lemony flavor. Delicious!! — 11 years ago
Grapefruit and grass — 11 years ago
2008, Francois Cotat, Les Monts Damnes Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc. Brought this one back from France in 2011. Has aged well, no signs of oxidation and is still vibrant with lots of citrus. Screaming acidity, med alcohol and a long finish. Lots of grapefruit, lemon zest with a little orange blossom, white pepper and fresh cut grass. A little minerality on the finish. Need to find a 2011.

What a wine.. 😁 there's just nothing like unfiltered, unfined, and unhinged Sauvignon Blanc. It's like my love for German Hefeweizen - hazy, but all of the flavor that Bevan would just lose if he wanted a star bright wine.. looks aren't everything. All the main indicators of SB, and much more - lemon grass, grapefruit reduction, unpasteurized clover honey, white peppercorn, vanilla, Meyer lemon, and white pear. Juicy acidity, intense and inviting florals, and fun to look at in the glass. 2016 is a great year for Bevan SB. — 9 years ago

Super bright, clear wine, lighter bodied. Wonderful melon, lemongrass, passion fruit and white pepper nose. Green melon, passion fruit, peach, ginger and some herb notes I'm struggling to identify beyond the lemon grass, maybe tomato leaf? Passion fruit comes through nicely on the finish. Really pleased with this one! — 9 years ago
Medium body and acidity. Not as "crisp" as many NZ SBs. Grass, green pepper, lime, minerals, and ocean air. #houseofpurevin — 10 years ago
Sweet to start and tart at the finish. Mainly tastes of grapefruit, passion fruit, and grass. Soft, rounded texture. There's more complexity and bigger flavor if you let it sit out a bit, but not too long because then it loses the crisp finish. #vinebox — 10 years ago
Fresh cut grass, guava, citrus, beautiful! — 10 years ago
2014 vintage! This is a perfect example of what a NZ Sauvignon blanc should smell and taste like.... Grass and jalepeno! — 11 years ago
2012. Similar to the other Greywacke SBs. Grapefruit, grass and a wild rice character. — 11 years ago
Yes that's crab behind. — 12 years ago
