Honeysuckle Rise

Château Coutet

Sauternes-Barsac Sémillon Blend 2014

A blend of 75% Semillon, 23% Sauvignon Blanc, & 2% Muscadelle. Golden with complex aromas, somewhat Riesling like, and adding a tropical bouquet. On the palate this botrytis rich wine shows apple, pineapple and honeysuckle flavors. Lingering finish ending with smoky vanilla notes. Had this at tasting and bought a few bottles! Will contine to age in the bottle. Nice! — 6 years ago

Lauren Vineyard Chardonnay 2008

Wow. Mark’s Lauren Vineyard chard is always my favorite, but this 2008 is absolutely unreal. Incredible nose of honeysuckle, white flowers, lemon peel, and a touch of vanilla, the mouthfeel on this is unbelievable. Impeccable balance, with a finish that lasts well over a minute, this is one of the best chardonnays I’ve had in a long time. Just awesome. — 7 years ago

Alban Vineyards

Alban Estate Vineyard Viognier 2015

An awesome viognier by John Alban (kinda like letting you know the sun is going to rise tomorrow). We tried it in a Riedel Vinum series cabernet glass, which really did enhance the aromatics, so I’d recommend giving that a shot. Beautiful honeyed color, white flowers and a trace of spice on the nose, I suspect this is going to improve sustantially with a couple of more years under its belt (but still terrific now). — 7 years ago

SP68 Bianco Terre Siciliane Albanello Muscat of Alexandria 2012

Mid Gold in colour, looking way older than it actually is. Strong aromas of Apricot and to a lesser extent honeysuckle and White flowers. An unctuous flavoursome full bodied palate exhibiting great texture and intensity with the Apricot coming through. Finishes Dry. Delicious and different. Will purchase more. Muscat of Alexandria also known as Zibibbo in Sicily. — 8 years ago

Just be careful what you buy cause every vintage is fairly different and there is a lot of bottle variation too. Nice drop though, I agree 👍

@Ceccherini Cristiano Thanks for the tip. I just bought 4 of the 2017 Blanco and 2 of the 2016 Rosso from the importer Dan Clark so hope these vintages stack up. I have had only 2 vintages of the Blanco and both good so far.

Leeuwin Estate

Art Series Margaret River Chardonnay 2007

Mid Lemon in colour with a slight tinge of green amazingly. Aromas are of profound intensity of white peach and nougat. Barb also said honeysuckle. Those notes are carried through to the fulsome mouth filling palate with a citrus note to accompany the peach and nougat - finishing with nice cleansing acid keeping the wine fresh with a bitter note inviting you to take another glass. Sadly my last bottle from the excellent 2007 vintage. Proves this wine can go the distance in good years. — 6 years ago

The Y Series Viognier 2016

Just when I thought I’d fallen out of love with white wine, I found this. This is answer to Chardonnay since I’d become largely uninterested. Aromas of honeysuckle, jasmine and peach drew me in. It’s full body and creaminess got me to stay. This is the closest I’ve gotten so far to a white BBW. Reasonably priced. I’m looking to forward to having this again and again. Shout out to the screw top. #badandboozypod #whitewines #winegasm — 8 years ago

Honeysuckle, beeswax, chamomile and lemon curd nose. The acid hits first and then evolves into underripe peach, and pith, and aromatic citrus like yuzu or pomelo. A wine that makes you want to stick your nose in the glass and rest your forehead on the rim to enjoy. — 9 years ago

La Proportion Dorée Sonoma County Sémillon Blend 2013

This has everything I love in a white: great nose, floral but covered maybe a little tropical fruit and honeysuckle; flavor is very well balanced, nice fruit but balanced with aime mineral and just the right amount of acid to create a long wonderful linger. Thisis just right! Love it! — 9 years ago

Petroleum, honeysuckle, yellow cake, and lavender nose. On the palate more petrol, peach nectar, honey, ruby red grapefruit, gunpowder, white pepper, with a powerful petrol after nose. I might have called this a quality german trocken Riesling in a blind test. This is a fabulous Viognier in the french style. — 6 years ago

La Doriane Condrieu Viognier

Lemony pale gold color. Gardenia, honeysuckle, sweet tangerine with hints of golden apple, tropical fruits, and ginger in the bouquet. Dried apricots, ripe gooseberries, and fresh apples with lemon zest and candied ginger notes on the palate. Umami mushroom and cooking fat sensation lingers long on the finish with hints of white pepper. Medium bodied white that would probably pair well with a rich cream sauce but wonderful by itself. So hard to find a yummy and interesting white wine! — 6 years ago
