Community Tasting Note

  • Ellen5181 Likes this wine: 90 points

    October 22, 2021 - Appearance - clear. Glassine, straw

    Nose - it’s been open a while but the nose is medium plus. Youthful. More oak than fruit or floral. Some lemon. Ripe sweet lemon, but also alcohol burn. Listed as 13.5, feels higher.

    Palate - wonderful. Very fresh and great acidity. Nice balance. Medium body. Balanced and alcohol feels integrated on palate. Little frizzante on palate. Notes are lemon, grassy, minerality, herbs. I do think grape is Sauvignon Blanc but w/o the gooseberry funk.

    It’s an alive wine, rounded, great flavor, tastes fresh and clean. Good finish.

    Would be great with oysters or seafood. Don’t limit yourself to Sancerre.
