#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.

Direct follow up to 2020 vintage. Much more earthy terroir taste than the 2020 fruit bomb. Very enjoyable with more complex hints of flavor — 4 months ago

Sunday Lunch with Roast Lamb. Deep Ruby in colour - very dense. A very Margaret River Cabernet - nose with herbs and a little mint. Barb thought a bit of capsicum (bell pepper) on the nose. On the medium bodied balanced palate the tannins are quite soft yet persistent. Leeuwin Estate better known for its outstanding Art Series Chardonnay has been working hard with the red varieties and it shows. — 14 days ago
