85/15 Sauv Blanc/Semillon. Medium plus nose shows white flowers, earth, mushroom, chive, wet onion. Palate more of a fresh style with lime zest, grapefruit, but then the green notes kick in, light earth, nice Bordeaux leaning style, finishes with some phenolics, tropical fruits.

Quite round and soft for a Sauvignon Blanc. It followed a Grand Cru Chablis, and was actually quite wonderful. Crisp golden color. Nose had melon and pears predominant. The palate was balanced, some acidity, but lots of fruit, cantaloupe and pears, some toastiness without it being oaky, a hint of lemon zest. Long, pleasant finish. Terrific.

Consistent with my previous note, if anything, this has improved markedly over the past year.

Bright and generous. Melon and citrus notes. Has spine, some richness and light grassy notes. Reminiscent of Merry Edwards.
