- Thraz - 01-27-2006 $7 at Total. I had tried the 2003 before and not liked it as much. This one is very nice though. It's made from ugni blanc, which I think is called trebbiano in Italy but I may be wrong about that. Anyway, for such an obscure grape I thought the wine had the hallmarks of sauvignon blanc from Bordeaux or maybe the Loire: beautifully balanced with very nice acidity. The nose was very pleasing though not that forward, maybe the one thing I would say about this wine that is not entirely positive. I thought it was a bit light, with hints of flowers and maybe quince (I went looking for quince jelly to verify that but couldn't find any - note to self, need to buy quince jelly). The palate was wonderful though. It's an incredible value and now my house white for the foreseeable future. - Kcwhippet - 01-27-2006 Same grape used to make Cognac. - dananne - 01-27-2006 We've used this as our house white in the past, especially during our hot Atlanta summers. Great QPR, and a fun white. |
