Klein Constantia

Brut Méthode Cap Classique Chardonnay 2014

9.1

Our first stop on the Cape was the historic Estate of Klein Constantia, established in 1685 by the VOC Governor of the Cape, Simon van der Stel. The Dutch established the Western Cape wine growing region in the 1600’s as a rest and resupply stop for their trading ships sailing around Africa enroute to their many trade partners of the Far East etc..

The nose reveals; slightly bruised apple & pear, white citrus, notes of apple cider, white peach, cream, vanillin notes, nice, soft chalkiness, gentle minerality with spring flowers and yellow lilies.

The body is quite light, lively, tightly beaded, rich creamy texture, slightly bruised apple & pear, white citrus, notes of apple cider, white peach, cream, vanillin & ginger notes, nice, soft chalkiness, heavier minerality one palate than the nose with spring flowers and lilies.

Photos of, their Estate vines with the majestic mountains painting the background, A-frames for riddling the new vintage of this sparkling wine, the grounds surrounding the Estate and their tasting bar.

Revana Vineyard Estate Pinot Noir 2014

Had the Revana cab, figured I should try the Alexana Pinot. This Pinot was perfect on this Texas patio evening. Very refreshing. Without a doubt, this needs to be served slightly more chilled than others. Gorgeous red fruits splash the tongue...strawberry, cloudberries, lingonberries (all those cold weather fruits). Great integration of funky earthiness and herbs. Very small Spice on the backend, but not peppery. Overshadowed by the EnRoute, but a wine I'd absolutely buy again. Happy birthday @Cody Cotten ! — 8 years ago

Hop Kiln Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015

Great Pinot aroma, perfectly mild appearance like a Pinot should be. Would go well with Kobe and Wagu beef or mild spiced rack of lamb — 7 years ago

Far Niente Winery

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Sweet Far Niente tasting at Golden Gate wines in HK. Loved it all. The Enroute Pinot had the classic RRV cola notes... great nose. The N&N Cab was surprisingly open and ready to go now. The FN; serious, deep, long, and made for cellar time. — 8 years ago
