Roero Arneis 2019

Piemonte tasting #1
Fresh yet quite serious with structure before fruit. Nice breadth on the palate with spicy acidity, shy apricot and an slightly bitter almond finish. A nice serious effort, that showcases Piemonte is not the white wine country.

Château Coutet

La Chartreuse de Coutet Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2011

Quite consistent with my notes from ~6 months ago:

Nose has over-ripe apricot, almond oil, marzipan, meringue cookie and cold butter.
Palate has warmed apricot pie with extra flakey, buttery crust, sweet sand, white flower honey and mango.

Admittedly I love Sauternes and have many bottles, yet it's a rarity on opening and posting to the Community. We paired this bottle with a hard, smoked goat cheese from a local, Hudson valley producer, a solid match of sweet and salty.

Roero Arneis 2016

Bright and promising nose with camomile, pear, almond tones. A lot of mineral and chalk on the mouth, longish aftertaste with almond. Would love to compare how Arneis develops with age, sure it suits him. — 8 years ago

Galante Vineyards

Almond Flat Pinot Noir 2013

Inky garnet in the glass. Smoky bing cherry, clove and baking spices on the nose. Silky on the palate with vanilla and ripe raspberry, very fine tannins. Perfect pairing with Salmon in a Honey, Soy, Garlic and Dijon glaze! — 4 years ago

Golrious balance. Cork was compressed and showing age, though I stored this in my cold cellar. Nose of yellow fruits and flowers. All of a piece, though feeling a bit spendy.
Happy Mother's day to my wife, paired w almond croissants and truffled eggs.
