Wine Reviews

Freshly-sliced golden apple and savory dried field grass aromas open on the nose soothing the senses. The palate awakens with tart orchard fruit and lemon citrus that is at the core of the wine that is lifted by an assertive streak of acidity. Pair with king crab, scallops, oysters and grilled chicken thighs.

As Sancerre has climbed in price it has touched off many searches for similarly styled Sauvignons from the broader Loire Valley. A warming climate has helped such searches become more successful, and the fruit profile in this delicious and refreshing wine does indeed mimic Sancerre, with grapefruit and lime flavors accented by aromas of dried herbs and freshly cut grass. It isn’t as mineral as fine Sancerre but rings up for half the price.
