Tasting Notes
This week we welcome Tina and her bionic shoulder back to our tasting counter. She was away the tail end of 2023, but she is now back and making up for lost time. Tina was instrumental in getting the first 2023 vintage of rosé (Roseblood) to our store and she has been actively lobbying to get new and interesting wines on our shelves for Spring, which she is excited to show you (along with a few other stand-outs) this weekend, including:
​
Silverado Vineyards, Miller Ranch Sauvignon Blanc 2022 - From the property originally owned by Walt Disney's daughter, Diane Miller, comes this substantial Sauvignon Blanc (96% Sauvignon Blanc, 4% Semillon) with notes of stonefruit, lime and mango, followed by citrus flavors on the palate of orange blossom, mango, hints of pineapple and pear, with a crisp mineral finish. (90 pts. Wine Enthusiast)
​
Domaine du Roc des Boutieres, Pouilly-Fuisse 2021 - Surprise your friends with this bottle of liquid gold. Clay and limestone soils provide the structure for this 100% Chardonnay that is aged 70% stainless steel tanks and 30% oak for 11 months. "Lush and creamy, featuring vanilla, butterscotch, peach, apple and lemon flavors. Turns more focused as this cruises to the long, spice-and mineral-tinged finish. Delivers excellent harmony and energy." Wine Spectator 93 pts.
​
Roseblood D. Estoublon 2023 - Known by some (or maybe it is just us) as Carla Bruni's Rosé and is already one of the 93 members of the French Committee of Leading Luxury Brands, along with other iconic names such as Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Cartier and others. This rosé is similarly priced to Whispering Angel but has substantially more going on in the bottle with it's blend of Grenache, Syrah and Rolle, aka Vermentino.
​
Want to know a SECRET? We will be pairing your sample of Roseblood with a delectable macaron from Woops! (79 Union Street, Newton Centre).
Maurice LaPalus & Fils Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2022 - Delicious doesn't have to be expensive. Third generation wine making family that work in an authentic and traditional way while using modern techniques. Intense nose of fruity aromas including cherry, raspberry, and licorice. On the palate, it goes down easy, maybe too easy, with its smooth and silky tannins. HVE certified (sustainable) since 2015.
Routestock Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 - A well rounded blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (89.5%), Merlot (4%), Cabernet Franc (3.5%), Malbec (2%), and Petit Verdot (1%). RouteStock practices minimal intervention in their winemaking to help the grapes reach their full potential, using native yeasts, natural malolactic fermentation and no chemical additions.
