Tasting highlights for this Saturday's event include:
2013 Pikes Riesling "Hills & Valleys" is
clean, precise, and full of green apple and lemon/lime citrus flavors
that have beautiful persistency coupled with subtle hints of mineral and
wet slate. This is a fantastic, mouth-watering, bargain riesling at a
mere 11.5% alcohol.
2012 Domaine Du Salvard Vin de Pays du Val de Loire Pinot Noir "Unique" is a delicious Pinot Noir that is medium-bodied, cherry-driven, earthy, and fresh. We often hear from both customers and distributors that it is difficult to find really good Pinot Noir under $20 a bottle. This wine is the answer. Simply everything I'd hope for in a Pinot. A spectacular little value.
2012 "Sentinelle" cuvee is the more precocious of the two reds produced at Massiac. The tannins are more supple and the fruit a touch "sweeter", more forward and less rustic than its companion. The wine is bottled within a year of the harvest. The blend is usually two-thirds Syrah and one-third Carignan.
