@Peter Sultan Not sure if it was concrete aged but it was very expressive. I’ve never been disappointed by his wines!

I respect the oxidative Loire Chenins, but I don’t enjoy them.

@Tom Casagrande Yeah, respect that. It’s a matter of taste!

Cheninpan Touraine-Azay-le-Rideau Chenin Blanc 2018

A delicious crispy but also smooth white from the Loire valley. 100% chenin blanc, aged in neutral oak. We LOVED this wine, notes of dates and vanilla extract (but not overwhelming as it’s very citrus forward as well). — 5 years ago

Estate Santa Ynez Valley Viognier 2016

This is a wonderful Viognier from California. Even as a 4 year old, it is fresh, opulent, rich and exciting.

Showing citrus, oak, grapefruits, red apples, minerals, melons, spices, vanilla and black pepper.

Full-bodied and big and bold, with medium acidity. Beautiful legs on this white wine.

Spicy and a pleasure to drink by itself.

15.2% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$34.

Estate Roussanne

A very solid wine for being so young. We had the 2020 vintage. Pear and lemon, a bit of vanilla overtones. This wine can stand up being combined with red meat and pork. Rideau is famous for their Viognier wines, so the winemaker knows how to put it all together. — 4 years ago
