Nose of apple and pear. Chalky texture. Flavor of apple cut with lemon/lime. Reminds me of a creamy Chardonnay. Very refreshing. Paired well with chicken wild-rice soup. Would make for a good summer wine.

Straw in color, very brilliant. Not much to smell, just a little apple. Dry wine that is chalky, with apple and grape notes. Paired wonderfully with a chilled peach cucumber soup, garnished with goat cheese.

Affordable Bordeaux (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street): Crisp gooseberry and green apple with a little seashell minerality. Juicy, fleshy, green apple, gooseberry, a little mid palate burr, finishes a little warm and short but pleasant enough.

MNB: Oaked Sauv Blanc and some Fortifieds: (non-blind - my wine) Pale straw. Elevated intensity nose of ripe thiolic fruit - passionfruit, papaya. No signs of oak or pyrazines (low % Sauv blanc?). On the palate, dry, elevated alcohol - feels 13% (says 12% on the bottle), high-minus acid, no bitterness. Slight mid-palate weight and honey that might make you think Semillon, but I wouldn't be able to tell blind. It's a ripe, non-pyrazinic Sauv-Semillon blend showing no signs of oak treatment and ripe fruit character (as one might expect from the hot 2015 vintage). Has some body - possibly from lees stirring or possibly from used oak and semillon?
60% Sémillon, 5% Muscadelle, Only 35% Sauvignon Blanc stainless steel.
Good aromatics but a bit hot / lacking acid.

Recent Kermit Lynch Releases (Wine Wizards): Really lovely although it is really quite young and will be better next fall. the 2014 vintage really developed nicely with six months aging in my cellar. Balanced, complex and smooth.

Green apple and citrus. Lovely minerality. Good finish. A pleasure before and with food. Enjoyable and would be glad to drink it again.

Drinking great right now. I purchased a case of this wine a year ago and was initially disappointed. No more. It's a great "go to" with high QPR.

Yellow/green color. Green and tropical fruit notes on the nose and palate. Creamy mid palate and finish. Good value.

Enjoyed this white Bordeaux blend. Pear and apricot, herbal but not hay like others have said. Good minerality and acidity. Nice moderate finish.
