My first impression was that there was no there there. Both the fruit and structure seemed diluted on the front end and there was a sudden drop off mid-palate to nothingness. Temperature wasn't the problem as we had pulled it from a 54 degree cellar and then followed that with just a short stint in the fridge. As we worked through the bottle, I started to appreciate the wine's understated flavors, especially in the herbal notes on the finish. Not a powerhouse, but a pleasant dry white wine for a summer night and a good match with shrimp and tomato pasta.

Good but not outstanding - nice grassy character, lacking a little concentration and zip, but a pretty good representative Sancerre with juicy fruit and a decent finish.

Good refreshing acidity to cut through Chinese food. Good mix of herbal and flower on the nose, without overt grass or fruit on the palate.

Scubarex Oyster and Crab Offline (Scubarex house): Nice steely character to this wine. Notes of freshly picked green apple and lemons. Medium bodied. 87 points.
