Very out of my regional wheelhouse but I was great! Drinkable and full bodied dark fruit flavors — 9 years ago

Médaillon Sauvignon Blanc

Randy Fuller

9.0

The wine has a grassy note, but it's not the high grassy note of New Zealand. It's not the grassiness you smell when you have just cut the grass. There is more of an herbal edge to it, like the smell you get when you are pulling up weeds. Does that clarify for you? Good. I think my palate is coming unhitched from my brain. What I think I'm getting at is, there's an earthy sense to the grassiness here. On the palate the tropical fruit is definitely shaded by earth. It gives a wonderful display of pineapple, citrus and apples with just the right amount of earthiness. This wine, like the White Blend, is a great one for someone who thinks Sauvignon Blanc is too grassy. — 9 years ago

Intersting spicy but smooth red blend. Pairing well with Mediterranean food (of course!). Slightly bitter or tart finish, but good choice for the meal. — 9 years ago

Un-Oaked Chardonnay

Randy Fuller

9.2

This unoaked wine - 100% Chardonnay - smells great. It has a rich, golden tint and a little Champagne-like funk on the nose. I have only encountered that quality once before in a still wine, and it was in a Chardonnay from Uruguay. In this Moroccan Chardonnay it is not as pronounced, and it might be taken as salinity. The fruit aromas offer nectarines, peaches, pineapples and a touch of lime. In the mouth, fantastic acidity makes a refreshing sip. Tropical fruit flavors dominate - papaya, mango, pineapple - and there is an earthy quality that is expected after the aromas telegraphed it. The wine finishes citrusy, but it doesn't last very long. — 9 years ago
