Résisté California White Blend 2013

Shay A
9.6

As if Part 1 of Saturday night wasn’t incredible enough, Part 2 of the final and main event for the Fall WNH was all Sine Qua Non wines. The most spectacular lineup of wines I’ve ever seen, and an overall wonderful ending to an amazing trip with fantastic people.

The second SQN White we enjoyed (after having the ‘15 “ Entre chien et Loup” the night prior) was this beautiful wine. This is more Roussanne dominant than the prior bottle, which explains the more waxy, cool mint, nutty aromas and notes on the palate. Honeyed fruit with a toffee like finish. What a white wine! Thanks

Brut Non Dosé Vouvray Chenin Blanc

Very champagne notes of toast, creme brulee and ripe apples. A little less dry than champagne, with great chenin body. Very nice champagne alternative at an excellent price from Chambers Street. — 10 years ago

Lightmotif Roussanne Blend 2014

2014 Vintage. Quite a bit of oak on nose and palate. Very round wine, could use more acidity. Went well with seafood but not up to expectations. — 7 years ago

Stockholm Syndrome Grenache 2010

Young, but drinking well. Typical SQN nose and flavor profile. I enjoy Manfred’s Grenache wines even more than his Syrah-based wines. Will be hard to lay off my remaining bottles. — 8 years ago

Mr. K The Noble Man Alban Vineyard Chardonnay 2002

Darker hues than I've ever seen from this bottling. Rather amber and dark. Marzipan, kettle corn, carmelized fruit. I enjoy tasting these but they always guarantee a hangover for me. — 8 years ago

In The Abstract White Blend 2012

Honeysuckle and lemon on nose. Velvety mouthfeel with hints of peach, lemon curd, cream, bacon fat, ash and a touch of clove. Could use a little more acidity for my liking but fantastic — 10 years ago
