  Excellent wine, served with a casual lunch of broccoli and feta frittata, and pearled couscous salad (with arugula, mint, feta, peas, pickled shallots, toasted pistachios with lemony vinaigrette). On opening the bottle, presented bright, sweet apple on the nose. Medium straw color, medium body. Tasted apple, then after a bit of air, stone fruit, a bit of creaminess yet a finish of good and lingering salinity. More than held its own with pronounced flavors of the main meal, and-surprisingly-even with a variety of spice cookies served afterwards. One of the most enjoyable sauvignon blancs I've had in quite a while. Wish I'd bought a full case rather than just a few bottles.

  Medium gold color
  Medium plus aromas of citrus/pear with green herbs and yellow florals with nice minerality - with time in glass this changes to more of a citrus/ grapefruit and grassy quality - possible very faint oxidative qualities which also resolve with time in glass
  Medium bodied with palate of citrus/ pear - linear with fairly round edges
  Medium plus electric acidity with minimal phenolic bitterness and medium alcohol
  Moderate length driven by acid
  Overall a SB which seems to run the balance of old school Sancerre and the New World
  Drink now

  Blind tasting
  Pale gold, filtered with a slight fizz on the glass
  Aromatics medium to medium + after time in the glass
  Initially pear and citrus, that later changes to grapefruit, herbs and grass with pyrazines apparent. No new oak.
  Palate has a medium body. Acid medium later changing to medium + with a clear spiked quality of S. Blanc. Alcohol medium. No phenolics. Initially a lees feel with pear that overtime becomes lemon, grapefruit and peach
  Finish has a medium + length of fruit and acid. Balanced
  Dry glass notes of grass and hay
  I guessed an old world Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre. Seemed a bit ripe in retrospect, but still quite nice.
  Drink now, not sure what aging will add but has the structure to age if desired

  Fresh citrus and grapefruit. Perfect amount of acid to deliver fruit, mouthfeel and finish. Bright fruit with enough complexity and depth to make it satisfying.
