For the price, this is a surprisingly good bottle of wine. The color is warm toasted almond with a beautiful viscosity.

Tons of fruit and honeysuckle on the nose with a very light and crisp taste. Composed of 40% Sauvignon Blanc, you get the citrus and floral notes known to that varietal with some subtle sweetness from the other grapes.

If you're a white wine drinker that is stuck on American or Australian whites, give this wine a try - you won't be disappointed.

Floral notes on the nose. Just a touch of oak and butter, with some citrus... light and crips. Well-balanced over all.

I've been very pleased with the French whites we've been drinking of late, and this is no exception. Great deal.
