I found a cute little half-bottle of this wine hiding in my samples rack, not entirely sure how or when it got there. Well, today was the day that it was popped in the fridge and its top was twisted off. A bit dark in the glass with rich tree fruit: peach and even pear on the nose, with slight hints of grassiness. The palate is equally as rich, on the verge of unctuous; very un-Sauvignon Blanc-ish. That is just fine with me as this is not my go-to variety by any means unless, of course, "Sancerre" is emblazoned on the label. In fact, this is more Sancerre in style than it is Dry Creek Valley or Sonoma County. Again, fine by me. Good fruit, plenty of body, balancing acidity, and a dash of verve. thedrunkencyclist.com

Very nice Fume Blanc. Enjoyed a glass with George and Joyce at their home. Nose of green apple and apricot which carries over to the palate. Good minerality and acidity. Great value at $10!
