Pineapple

R. López de Heredia

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Blanco Malvasia Viura 1987

Dark golden bordering Carmel. Seductive nose. Ginger root, organic honey, and toasted almond. The oxidation is in a great spot. Medium weight with dried apricot and pineapple. Acidity carries on the finish. In a wonderful place, drink or hold. — 6 years ago

The Prisoner Wine Company

Blindfold California Chardonnay Blend 2015

Very good, easy to drink on its own, but would certainly hold up to a variety of foods ... would be quite good with fish. On the nose - initial strong notes of apricot and possibly pineapple, more subtle notes of green apple, peach, and purple grape. On the palette - quite fruity, relatively long finish. Maybe a bit of fig taste. Comes across as sweet but in further thought is rather off dry. Creamy in the mouth. Strong mandarin flavor. — 7 years ago

La Cuvée Fondraux Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2016

Lemon, Gravel, Pineapple, Yogurt on the nose. It’s off dry. Medium bodied and acidic up front but mellowing on the end. Coconut and citrus on the pallet. Really great wine at a great value. — 7 years ago

Tedeschi Vineyard

Maui Blanc Pineapple Wine

Purchased during a recent visit to Hawaii and it survived the flight back to AZ. Very fragrant- a solid punch in the sniffer of pineapple sweetness. Brings back awesome memories of a fantastic vacation. Can't say I'd drink it regularly but it definitely a fun treat. — 8 years ago

Such a wonderful surprise...
Explosive nose of honeysuckle and pineapple.
The palette has a distinct Viognier signature, which is extravagant. My close French friend questioned if this chard was blended with Viognier? Who cares, it's just stand-out. Excellent balance of acidity, texture and delicate sweetness. One of the best white wines we have tasted.

A gift from my good friend Santa
@Martin G Rivard. We will not forget this. Thank you!

Quite a debate about is this skunky, and if it is, how do you define it. To me, it was definitely a bit sulphuric with some burnt popcorn. Fruit is fairly subdued throughout...more grilled buttered pineapple and cashew. Out of the two, this definitely appeals to the French crowd. Thanks for the intro to this @Benjamin Keator ! — 7 years ago

Consumed alongside a 2013 DuMOL clare, this wine appears to have more rounded edges on the finish and is a bigger wine overall but still rather acidic on the opening. But it is still improving and has a lot of time left to figure itself out. There is a little bit of truffle here. Starts with good aged fruits, but dang if I know what they were...3 rounds and I'm still a bit perplexed. Maybe an oregano and basil plantain? Honeydew that has been sitting out a bit too long yet you are still compelled because it is so good! This wine has some structure, and will continue developing for 10+ years.

The level of honeysuckle, pineapple, and lemon oil blew me away. Crisp and clean. It was sitting next to a well crafted bottle from the Dry Stack Vineyard which couldn't compare. — 8 years ago

Not too sweet and tastes just like pineapples! Pairs great with poke or Thai food. I was really shocked by how much I liked this wine and I’m not normally a sweet white wine drinker. — 7 years ago

Beringer Vineyards

Private Reserve Napa Valley Chardonnay 2012

From a 2012 successful harvest this “Chardo” is no exception of a classical Napa Valley showcase. Opened at 55 degrees for inviting botanical, and subtlety toasted aromas. Mouthfeel incredibly light no oak for instance… bwell balanced for that peach, pineapple, and all that ripe baked fruit like that fruit tartars from that famous French Bakery. Ten years later it does stand to be drinkable now, not later than 2023
