Second wine in the last few weeks and this is a great reintroduction. Intense, alkaline/stone, crushed Bosc pear, hints of sun-warmed, fuzzy peach and apricot, toasted almond. Palate is surprisingly low acid with a weighty, viscous feel. The aftertaste js distinctly stony, like a European mineral water.
Yesterday I thought this would be good with a scallop and kumquat ceviche. Today I paired it with pan roasted chicken tenderloins, pan gravy, heirloom corn-bread, creamed kale and a mustardy beet salad. This was a good foil to the mixed/richness on the plate.

A hint of spritz at first, with loads of sour apple and peach. On the palate, very vibrant acidity with loads of stone fruit and excellent minerality. Perfect complement to the mild spiciness of chili powder in butternut squash soup.
