Gun flint and a hint tomato vine, not big on this style, but I've been outside all day and I wanted a groovy white to start the night

Super green for the vintage. Lacking concentration. I thought it might be Quincy or a cheap Sauvignon from Gascony.

Nicely aromatic-- rose florals and lemon citrus. Viscous mouthfeel. Classic flint comes out with a little air.

My first 2014 from the Loire Valley. If this is any indication, it is a great vintage. This is everything you look for in a Sauvignon Blanc.

Good balanced Sauvignon blanc could have been better for price though

Such a lovely dry white wine! Sour note in a good way.

This was the best white blend I have ever had. Little tart and perfect for a cool summer night!
