#AgedWineTuesday

Pretty deep golden in color.

Strong nose of light diesel, apples, spices, herbs, sweet lemons and light honey notes.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry to off dry on the palate with honey, lemons, citrus, apples, pears, light earth, herbs and spices.

Long finish with lemons and limes.

What a delicious Riesling from Williamette Valley this is. Soft and elegant, complex and smooth.

This 13 year old Single Vineyard Riesling is nicely balanced with enough acidity to balance the sugars.

Drinking beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with spicy Asian foods.

100% Riesling grapes were aged in (30% neutral) French Oak barrels and stainless steel vats for 12 months.

12% alcohol by volume.

#AgedWineTuesday

Pretty Golden in color.

Nose of apples, light yeast, peaches, minerals, spices and light herbs.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and soft bubbles.

Dry on the palate with limes, light grapefruits, herbs, earth, minerals, yeast, light brioche and white pepper.

Long finish with limes and sea salt.

This is a delicious Sparkling wine from Oregon. Rich and fruit forward. Easy drinking and complex. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Feels like Champagne, which is nice to see out of Oregon.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.

Although I find that La Closerie generally needs some bottle age to fill out and come into its own, LC19 is already showing fabulously flaunting deep, powerful layers of ripe orchard fruit with smoky minerals, toasted hazelnuts and exotic spices. The palate is impeccably structured and concentrated with a satiny texture and vibrant energy that gives way to a long mineral inflicted finish. Pinot Meunier from the master, it just can’t be matched. This is the best release since LC13. — 4 years ago

Dark fruit with spicy velvety undertones of violets and herbs. Rich finish. Filet mignon really went well with it. Surprise Cotes-Du-Rhone that is a cut above other CDRs. — 6 years ago

Raisins and leather on the nose. Slightly sweet. Taste begins sweet and caramel; very full. Slightly alcohol forward. Dries out late with hints of oak and smoke. As someone else said, it's like the offspring of bourbon and rum. — 7 years ago

Medium Ruby with aromas of black and red fruits with cedar, floral and spice notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, blackberry and cedar with smoke and tobacco notes. Generous acidity on fine soft tannins with a long finish ending with fruit and spice. Drinking well now! — 3 months ago

Nose: cooking spices, peppers, dark berries.

Taste: nice acidity, peppers (dry, not sweet), savoury spices (I do get the paprika claimed on the label!), dark berries, beeswax. Not my preferred style but well made — and paired well with tacos! 89. — 9 months ago

See previous notes on March 2020 and October 2020. This tasting was even better than those two tastings. At 10 years it is peaking. Sweet and savoury ripe plum and black cherry. So mellow, earthy and delicious. A brilliant wine from a brilliant winemaker. He certainly is the master of alternative varieties in this country - Steve Pannell. A lot like cool climate Shiraz and many would pick it as that in a blind tasting. A great match with Chicken Legs. — 3 years ago

Very juicy and light! Mellows a bit into the more subtle flavors of blackberry and currant as it opens up. Would be a great spring wine outdoor wine. Serve slightly chilled. — 6 years ago
