September 20, 2013 - A medium intensity nose of lemon citrus, grapefruit, hints of spearmint, blackcurrant leaf and background minerality.
A rather subdued palate of citrus, grapefruit with hints of spearmint and leafy herbaceousness amongst a slightly savoury background.
A delicate, elegant, med bodied savy with med minus acidity and med length. The wine has typical Loire flavours with a decent length.
However, it lacks the typical racy acidity, zest and vibrancy expected, but, then again, it's 4 years old and probably not built for med term cellaring. Nevertheless, still a pretty good wine that I would prefer over Marlborough savs any day of the week. -

November 10, 2012 - Pale green, nose of tropical fruit which follows through on the palate with tropical, pineapple fruit, quite full bodied, flabby in fact. Lacks the bright acidity I'd expect from a Loire Sauvignon Blanc.

August 11, 2012 - Recommended by the NY Times as a nice substitute for Sancerre. Complex. Bright, fresh nose with pear and grapefruit notes. Complex taste, with citrus, tropical fruits, zest and minerality. Very satisfying.
