The Eyrie Vineyards
Chasselas Doré
Pale yellow, excellent clarity. Sulfur funk in nose in initial pour, followed by floral, stone fruit and vanilla notes. Peach and lemon flavors with high acidity, dry, slight skin astringency with minerality on finish. Would cut through a cheese fondue like a buzzsaw, but with a lovely flavor profile. A curious juxtaposition, that... Decant 20 minutes. Umami taste emerges after an hour.

Dec 4th, 2019Could use a touch more weight (only 9.5% abv) but a delightful picnic wine.
