  4/21/2018 - srh Likes this wine:

  Winebar [4 Whts, 8 Reds, & 4 Shared Bottles] from 4/30/18: "...from [purchased] grapes grown in siliceous clay and clay-limestone soils...located on the right bank of the Loire River opposite those of Sancerre." "We buy must or wine from local producers with whom we have worked for over 20 years."
  
  N: Slightly closed; Minerals (POSS smoke?) with melons & undertones of grass?
  
  P: Med body; Rndish entry with NICE frt met by PIERCING acidity which carries into & through the LONG, TANGY finish with GLIMPSES of honey on the VERY end. An IMPRESSIVE, potentially POWERFUL style that needs through '18, then drinking for 3 yrs more? My VG+/EXC-, poss more down the line! 16/20 pts Jancis Robinson. [This vendor's $19.95 is $5 < the only other currently listed U.S. source on wine-searcher!]
