North Coast Trousseau

Weekly Wednesday Wine Committee lunch...always such a treat to attend. This week, Dan hosted. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine. All blind as usual.

What. A. Head scratcher! Wow. Never had a wine like this. Nobody in the room guessed the varietal. In the glass, it looked like an orange wine. Sherry like. Nose and palate were so cherry dominant...cherry sours candy, cherry tart, licorice and even orange rind. I called it Beaujolais.

Wow--a real trip. Color of sherry, body of beaujolais.

A little burnished already, drinking well. #WhiteDinner

Delicious.

Drinks like an aged burg

Lovely soft red fruit with dancing acid.

One of the original hipster California wines still bringing the noise.

Very light compared to past vintages.

This smells and tastes like aged #bourgogne level red #burgundy The color was orangish-pink. The nose was low intensity and the palate was missing fruit and dominated by vegetation like rhubarb. The tannins were quite drying and the finish was short. Definitely a peculiar wine. #arnotroberts #trousseau #northcoast #california #ctbucklinwine
