Killer nose! Chamomile, apple pie, Meyer lemon, ginger, bruised pear, and nutmeg. All carry through to the palate. The structure is seamless. Lip-smacking acidity and a clean mineral note are here, too. This wine feels like it flows through a clear beginning, middle, and finish.

Butterscotch and hazelnut precede spiced baked apple with ginger and nutmeg. Lanolin, wet stone, kerosene and lemon verbena round out the palate.

Savennieres is one of my favorite white wines as it offers a lot to explore!
I am getting bruised pear, sour apples, lemon, mango, ginger, minerals, herbs, minerals, a touch of honey and lanolin.
I possibly opened this a little to soon as it is missing characteristics of cheese rind and wooliness that I really like in a well aged Savennieres!
Delightful wine for a Sunday evening even if it is snowing in Davenport, IA.

I opened this too early. It’s good but not yet singing and you can tell there is lots to play with in hibernation.
It has aromas of spicy baked lemon, pear, bruised yellow apple, and smoke. On the palette you taste flavors of young sour pineapple and granny smith apple with more baked lemon and salty lime. It has a plush texture with good weight that counters laser focused acid.
