James Suckling
A well-rounded, comforting and fruity sauvignon blanc with apples, toast and pastry spices on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with a round and dense core of delicious fruit to the mellow spices coating the mid-palate. Flavorful finish. From organically grown grapes.

Wine Spectator
Intensely herbaceous and savory, with a salty, briny character to the lime and green fruit notes. Almost oily in texture on the palate, which is held up by a firming mineral wall and steely acidity. A precise, focused style, offering plenty of refreshment. Best from 2025 through 2032.
Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.
Famous in the Loire and throughout the world for perfumed Sauvignon blanc, Pouilly-Fume sits due east, across the Loire River from Sancerre. Limestone soils with clay and flint (also called silex) contribute to the wines' freshness and often times smoky, flinty, mineral character.
