Barriques Alsace Pinot Blanc
This was proposed as an alternative to the Abymes and South African Chenin and Mendocino Pinot Blanc I tried to order, all of which were out of stock. I saw the Kermit back label and said yes.
Pale yellow green. Aromas of green plum, cherry and a hint of almond. Seems off dry, which it may be, but also the barriques...
Pretty good w brandade (overdone truffle oil) and grilled asparagus salad.

Flashback to school lunch canned pear juice runoff! Nice round texture. Inviting.

Oct 11th, 2015Great purity of fruit and energy, but the influence of barrique is surely atypical.

The red fruit is unripe, with a cranberry-like bite. Good food wine
