Community Tasting Notes 22

  July 14, 2013 - Sunday at Ken's; 7/14/2013-7/15/2013: Much better than a prior bottle, not sure why. This one was classic (in a good way) Cal Sauv Blanc. The nose is slightly grassy, peaches, fresh country air, with a mineral undertone. On the palate, the nose carries thru nicely. Slick texture which is nice. Slightly oily. Good balance. Refreshing and interesting on a hot summer day.

  April 22, 2013 - A bunch of wine with non-Geeks: Light silvery gold in color. The nose has some minerals, a bit of hay and some lemons. A bit reticent. On the palate, this is smooth and works well with food. Less so as a cocktail as it is not expressive in style. More "Loire"-like in style. That said, this is a very nice wine and the crowd enjoyed it.
