Community Tasting Note

srh Likes this wine:

Saturday, July 13, 2019 - Sat, 07/13/19, $2 Tasting (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): "100% S.B. grown in chalky clay soils on the slopes of the Loire Valley; Fermented in s/s tanks followed by 3 mos of maturation on its lees;"

N: Earth, poss minerals atop grass with pears coming on; Fairly fragrant

P: Med body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt nicely counterbalanced by an acidity which subtly controls the action into & through the LONG, BALANCED finish with an attractive tangy/swtness. IMPRESSIVELY done for the price! For now & through '21, poss '22? 13% ABV; My EXC-/EXC, the higher arguably for the QPR of this. [This vendor's $11.95 puts it @ the bottom of the TOP 1/2 of wine-searcher's few listings.]
