Willamette Valley Melon de Bourgogne

Pale yellow white with a tinge of green, excellent clarity. Grapefruit-citrus aroma. Apple, lemon and grapefruit flavors with length, crisp, mineral finish. Great food wine

Retasting 14 months later. Pale yellow, excellent clarity. Veggie, floral and pineapple notes in nose. Preserved lemon flavor, green apricot with light skin astringency in finish. Tart enough to be a good food wine. Its fruit flavors have changed since the previous tasting. Veggie note emerging in nose is slightly sulfury, not quite broccoli-like, but not a positive here.

Pale yellow in color. Floral, mint, vanilla notes in nose. Cantaloupe, sour apricot and soft lemon flavors, good acidity with rounded mouthfeel, soft, velvety tannin finish. This one cries out for seafood.

Solid wine

I want these grapes on California!

Holy apple cider, Batman.

Light bodied round wine with baked pear and notes of lemon.

Anne's Melon/Muscadet gives me cravings for seafood with a little oomph, like blini w steelhead roe or miso & udon noodle soup with shrimp & Vietnamese soup greens. It's like having a muse in the glass!

Pronounced lemony acid

Crisp, light, somewhat acidic, pear, lemon, sharp, tart.
