We've had some decent wines this week.
The first: a Pinot Noir for Oregon. We begin with it's brilliant red color. Buttery nose with spice, earth, and cinnamon highlights. Mouth is bright red, black cherry with light raspberry, strawberry, cinnamon, and earth, with long cherry berry finish. What's good about this? It will continue to develop and improve for 4–7 years. But, we drank it. No better time than the PRESENT!
The second. A wonderful crisp Chardonnay from France. This is the Eric Chevalier Vigneron en Pays de Retz Chardonnay 2008. The color of this wine is a pale golden hue...reminds me of a dry Sauvignon Blanc; however, the bouquet is crisp citrus. The flavor is a mix between a buttery Chardonnay and a crisp Pinot Grigio. It leans more towards a Pinot Grigio in taste than a Chardonnay. Perfect summer wine!
