Community Tasting Note

  October 16, 2021 - I am a fan of Kermit Lynch selections and this does not disappoint.
  
  Appearance - clear, medium straw. Shoes some oak n the color
  
  Nose - clean, youthful, medium plus (after a few hours), more wood and spice than fruit but in a nice way. Lots of baking spice. Alcohol is high but you don’t get it on the nose.
  
  Palate - lovely and easy to drink. Medium plus bodied wine. Feels more Cali than Sancerre. If you told me this was a chard I wouldn’t argue. Balanced. Medium acidity. Finish is medium plus.
  
  I will be curious how this wine ages. The components feel balanced
  
  Yes - to my critics on this site. I am aware that Sancerre is SB and not chard. This has none of the unctuous SB notes. It reminds me more of an acidic Italian varietal that has seen oak. It does not feel French. So perhaps my rating needs to go down? It is nice drinking but not Sancerre like. Not refined in the French style. Well made but non conforming.
