Shane’s Notes

The aroma is melony and citrussy. The palate is subtle and complex with cantaloupe, zesty lemon, tangy lime and grapefruit flavors. The flavors seamlessly melt into each other. Jen really enjoyed it. I’ll admit that it’s an outstanding wine, but I’m not thrilled with the style. I never liked Sauvignon Blanc until I tried those grassy, flavor-exploding-on-the-palate SB’s from Marlborough, New Zealand. They are still the only SB’s that I like. All other SB’s, including this Sancerre, just have palates that are too mild for me.
