Domaine de l'Ecu (Guy Bossard)
Granite Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Melon de Bourgogne
- White gold, straw color. Very clear
- Smells a little bland (oxidation) heavy green apple and smells sour. Jolly rancher smell. Maybe some soy sauce
- Hints of citrus but not the strongest. Sharp after-taste. Lingers for a while
- Sweet taste, but kinda acid heavy too
- Classic style for this grape
- Medium acidity, low Tannin. No oak
- Purposely exposed to oxygen to make the fruits flatter — 7 years ago
Bread & Butter Wines
Napa Valley Pinot Noir 2017
Not my favorite Pinot. Unbalanced fruitiness and acidity, odd and overpowering nose — 6 years ago
Sandeman
Sandeman Porto 20 Year Old Tawny
Excellent Tawny port with hints of maple syrup and dried apricot. Very nutty finish, leaving tastes of pecans and walnuts on the tongue — 7 years ago
Dr. Loosen
Ürziger Würzgarten Spätlese Mosel Riesling 2017
- Smell: peachy, some banana, earth notes. Characteristic of German rieseling: chemical product, petroleum. Pineapple, a little fruit
- Acidity very high- very refreshing as sweetness wanes to nothing in the aftertaste
- Pairing: spicy Indian food, spicy Thai food. Acidity spice mix. Only 8% alcohol
- Sweet start light finish, doesn’t leave your lips sticky
- Earthy for a white wine
- On the Mosel, clay based river in the wine country — 7 years ago
Erich Sattler
Burgenland St. Laurent 2017
Nice earthy red with dark cherry and plum tastes. Smells gamey on the nose with hints of dried tobacco leaves. Perfect for enjoying alone next to the fire or with a beef stew or dry rubbed ribs — 7 years ago
Dutcher Crossing Winery
Costello Vineyard Chardonnay 2016
Amazing Chardonnay with good acidity balance. Light fruitiness with hints of lemon. Buttery and baked on the nose. — 7 years ago
Rich Table
Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
- Color: very dark, can only see bottom a little. Light pink around the rim with Maroon tones. A lot of particulate matter. Almost towing with a halo of red
- Smell: Blueberry, deeper berry on the nose. Metallic sense of smell. Plum smell. Molasses, blackberry. Nuts, leather/cigar box
- Texture: fuller, richer
- You can feel the Tannen, dry layer over tongue.
- Vanilla, herbaciousness, fruitiness but not sugary really. Very bitter. Fruit forward
- Food pairing: steak, burger, red meat. Cuts away the bitterness a little. Mac and cheese, heavy. Trip trip steak, heavy duty stuff, portobello mushroom — 7 years ago
Matt Meyer
