Walter Scott
X Saxa Vineyard Aligote
Eola - Amity Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Walter Scott, like the novelist. Pale white, excellent clarity. Aromas of Granny Smith apples and citrus. Nice acidity, body, rounded mouthfeel, syrupy viscosity, dried peach and orange flavors. Mineral and lactic finish. Paired perfectly with roasted chicken and winter garden grown baby potatoes and carrots plus some store bought yellow bell peppers. An enjoyable wine; wish it was cheaper and in greater supply.

Very light lemon yellow color. Tight and shy on first sniff….then high bright lemon/ lime and tart Granny Smith aromas. Crisp, mineral, unoaked, light in weight, a hint reductive initially; then opening up with zingy acidity that tiptoes across the palate. The wine opens beautifully as it warms and works well with yellowfin crudo and Chicken breast Romesco. The low ABV and lively acid make for a long, interesting finish. By far my best Aligote ever.

Jun 26th, 2022Very reduced initially - some manure notes. With air it becomes much more pleasant, moving into struck match, lemon pith and orchard fruit, mineral and bright acid ⚡️
