“Flinty”, says Katharine. “Alcohol”, says TJ. The citrus and floral of Sauvignon Blanc are gone. (358 views)

This was recommended to me by someone who knows I enjoy a funky wine. Dark rose petals, good tannins, never-woulda-thought-it-was-Malbec. Love this. (562 views)

Fruit, funk, and fun. Some flinty minerality to make it similar to a cab franc but more purple fruited. (510 views)

Intense (brutal even!) yeast aroma with a mild, broad mousse, dried red fruits and a tense, lingering finish.

Tasted at Volupia restaurant, beside the Loire just outside Amboise. Lovely balance of green fruit and acidity. Great QPR. Picked up an extra bottle for a future dinner. (497 views)

A really nice, chewy Malbec brimming with varietal character. Deep, dark color. Strong, complex nose with leather, tobacco, licorice, blackberries and spice. Not overly fruity, but good depth of flavor, with some mineral foundation and a fairly rich mouthfeel. Clean, medium finish. This is better than many Cahors and Argentinian Malbecs costing twice as much. A steal at around $10! (671 views)

Really in an enjoyable spot right now. This is slightly less crunchy than it was a year or two ago, but there's still plenty of celery-like snap to the texture, and the fresh leafy-green herb notes that were perhaps over-dominant in the past have softened to show rounder, more yellow-fruited tones. But while it's no longer chirpy it's still very Touraine, with plenty of cucumber, lime rind, and crushed seashell for your Loire Sauvignon jones. (957 views)

Nice little Sauvignon. Peach, apple, and hint of melon. A little bite of acidity for needed balance. No minerality to speak of. (883 views)

Nice drier expression of a Loire Sauvignon Blanc. A little minerality comes through with some white fruit - touch of honey but not sweet. (852 views)

On the toasty and honeyed side of the spectrum, with some interesting almost musky aromatics contrasting real crispness on the palate. Delightful with roast chicken. 89-90. (721 views)
