Chateau Cru Juste Blanc 2008 - $14

Mostly sauvignon blanc with some semillon.

David: Light grayish yellow. Nose is a little tight. Grassy with some stone or chalk. Some very light perfume. High acidity is the theme on the palate. Light bodied and a little hollow on the mid-pallate. Sour lemon is the dominant fruit taste which carries through to the long, lemon zest finish. Was impressed that this tasted just as good after being left in fridge for a week.
Score: 3.8/5

Jess: Did not like.
Score: 3.2/5

Gwen: Smells like lemons.

Chateau Lestrille Entre-Deux Mers - $11

A white Bordeaux, Sauvignon Blanc.

David: Light golden color. Classic Sauvignon Blanc nose. Some pineapple. A little muskiness, citrus and white peach. Floral notes. Medium bodied. Mouthfeel is a little Chardonnay-like. Medium acidity. A little hollow on the palate at first but it picks up and becomes a bit more interesting. Overall, a decent refreshing wine but not too exciting.
Score: 3.8/5

Chateau Haut Sarthes Blanc 2008 - $9

David: From Montravell near Bordeaux. 50% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Semillon and 10% Muscadell. Bright yellow in color. Highly viscous, leaves tears on the glass. Nose of minerals, honeyed melon, white peach, flowers, coconut and chalk dust. Very nice aromas. Great acidity gives this lots of structure. Fruity but tart. Long layered finish. Very nice and a very good value.
Score 4.1/5

Jessica: An easy drinking white that has soft fruity tones and a nice balance of acid. Strong nose and good distribution of flavors and astringency.
Score: 4.2/5

Jean Max Roger Sancerre Cuvee G C - 2006 - $19

David: Bright gold in color. Gorgeous nose of honeyed mellon and minerals. Some muskiness. Acidity and fruit are wonderfully balanced. Complex layers of fruit. Even a bit of spiciness or herbaceous notes. Overall a beautiful wine. Went nice with barbeque chicken.
Score: 4.4/5

Jessica: seemingly light. Fragrant nose with flowers and mild herbs. Crisp and fresh. Delicious.
Score: 4.3/5

Terranoble Sauvignon Blanc 2009 -$6

David: Color is yellow straw. Big nose of gooseberry, pineapple and just a hint of lemon and banana. Full bodied, bold fruit, oak. Acidity picks up into the long finish which also has some mineral character, grapefruit and mild bitterness. A tad hot. Not terribly complex but rather nice. Great value.
Score: 3.9

Jessica:
Strong green apple in nose. Adequately complex. Tart. Full-bodied and well balanced.
4.0

Brancott Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc - 2009 - New Zealand - $13

David: Light straw in color with green highlights. Bell pepper is unmistakable on the nose. Peach, tropical fruit and lime are also evident. Medium bodied with a little sweetness. Alive with acidity which perks up considerable in the long finish.
Score: 4.1/5

Jessica: Initially sharp with strong citrus tones. Pale gold in color. Nice bouquet but the flavor does not match. Sweetness present but not overpowering.
3.9/5
