Very nice and pleasant wine. Dry fruit and aroma. A touch of sweetness. Went very well with broiled walleye pike. — 3 years ago

Ronco del Gnemiz Serena Palazzolo Sauvignon 2019. Plenty of varietal character with lime, boxwood, gooseberries, elderberries and kiwi fruit with an oyster shell minerality in the background giving complexity and dimension. The palate is driven by a linear and persistent acidity that is amped up on the treble and focused through the mid palate with a solid finish. As an entry level wine there is no denying this is an overachiever.
Paired with seared Pike Perch with a rough potato mash and a simple sauce made with reduced creme (creme double) flavoured with plenty of lemon and dill.

Sakana dinner 11/18/21 with Wilson/Mabel. What a wine! Deep golden color more akin to older Sauternes and a honeyed floral nose laced with acidic tones. Caressing stimulating lively texture that dances effortlessly on palate but still with sense of weight. Long overly finish. Matched the courses except for the Sanma Pike Mackerel where somehow it highlighted the fishiness. Otherwise it simply melted in and added to all the different flavors. Easily beat out Wu sake and dry Grand Cru Riesling. Found the perfect wine for the Omakase! — 3 years ago

Wines from Oregon are not easy to access in Australia so it was great to be offered this one from Prince Wine Store in Melbourne. Mid crimson - transparent in parts. Spiced black and red cherries. A lolly, confectionery jujube like note. Pike Road is the sister winery to Elk Cove. Lovely drinking right now - not for the cellar. We used to buy Oregon Wines when our son was at the University of Oregon in 2007-2008, but we have pretty much run out. Great to revisit Oregon Pinot. — 19 days ago
