  Pale green color. PNP, drank 2 glasses over 75 minutes. Last of 4 bottles and it will be missed. I really like the complexity to the fruit on both the nose and the palate. There is a unique mix to the tropical, stone, and citrus fruits. The nose offers a mix of passion fruit, apple, lime, lychee, and nectarine along with a very floral, pungent character, dried herbs, and bright minerality. The palate is very fresh and energetic, passion fruit, lime , lime zest, apple, peach, tart, good acid, and nice complex minerally finish. Excellent value coming from Touraine that surpasses most Sancerre. 91+pts.

  Pale gold color. Nose is bright with lychee, passion fruit, lime, pear, and nectarine, very floral, and there is a stony minerality. The palate nicely follows through on the nose, flora, lime, lime zest, lychee, crisp and fresh. Medium body with good acidity and a medium plus finish. Quite complex. 91+pts.

  Father's Day with Family (Rocknroller's (Kevin's)): This was right in line with the last bottle, nice citrus, lychee, lime zest, minerals. Definitely impressed and pleased the crowd that can't stand Sauv Blanc (Hmm, maybe they need more imports). 91+pts.

  lLght gold color. PnP, drank 2+ glasses over 1.5 hours. This was a honey, everything it was billed to be. Very complex and changing nose and palate. Nose reveals a strong wave of minerals, lychee, lime zest, citrus, sweet flowers, and hints of cat pee. The palate is fresh and tangy, with a blast of lychee, tart lemon-lime, orange peel, a bright streak of minerals, and a medium plus finish. Amazing QPR.
