"Round and mellowed, with good range, showing subtle notes of blanched almond and paraffin, while savory details of dried oregano and sage merge with orchard fruit and quince. Focused and mineral-driven through the salty, medium-bodied finish. 5,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported. - KB"

"Pouilly-Fumé in France's Loire Valley is famous for its limestone and flint-based soils that lend a distinct minerality to the wines. This Sauvignon Blanc definitely flaunts those chalky, flinty notes alongside hints of melon, white peaches, and lemon zest. This bottle is great to sip on its own or alongside fresh seafood dishes."

"Sweet green herb notes wrap around flavors of green apple and juicy lemon, while snap pea and salty mineral accents add complexity. Crunchy hints of flint line the palate, which is round and viscous as density builds. There's just enough zip on the finish to keep this balanced and firm. Drink now. 5,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported."
