August 6, 2013 - Clear with light yellow lemon color, Nose medium intensity, dominated by meyer lemon citrus, floral perfume, and minerals. Palate was dry, medium high acid, nice concentration with a light medium body and very nice finish. Required a good hour air time to open.. Outstanding

July 29, 2011 - Its flavors include apricot, cut grass, boxwood, gardenia and chalky minerality. Its body is sleek and satisfying on a frame of acidity. Simply one of the best Sauvignon Blancs of the year. 12.5% alc. With assorted cheeses, including Chabichou du Poitou and crusty bread. Highly Recommended.

January 27, 2011 - Lovely nose, mineral, a touch floral with citrus and grapefruit. I preferred the nose to the palate which is a little too varietal with too much of grapefruit and cassis leaf. There's a great acidity though but I would have loved more depth and minerality in the fruity palate.

March 25, 2010 - Quick taste at a retailer, so did not take detailed notes, but I remember this as being quite good, above average Sancerre, and very close in quality to the Cuvee Buster. Will look to pick this up when I'm buying again.
