Very herbal and grassy on nose, with classic grapefruit and tart apple palate and solid saline minerality. Pretty much textbook Loire SB, but for my taste a bit too grassy.

Wow, this just continues to impress me year in and year out. Lemongrass, gooseberry, citrus nose with a fabulously mineral palate. Like a New England stream running through the midpalate with all the granite and slate flavors. Can't beat it for $10! Truly a baby Sancerre. Imported by Vineyard Brands; natural cork; 12% ABV.
This shines a tad warmer and with a decant. Don't hold too long, but no rush to open, should be great until 2015
