Beautiful photo. I dream of tasting Matthiasson’s wines, have heard a lot of great things about them and respect the winemaker. Sadly they are unobtainable where I live.

Onward Wines

Hawkeye Ranch Rosé of Pinot Noir 2016

The wine glows pale salmon in the glass, and smells of fresh cherries, light raspberries and a soft touch of Meyer lemon, which was a bit of a surprise. The mouthfeel is fresh and rich, with a zippy acidity and a full mouth. Cherry flavors dominate, but a mineral aspect does not try to hide. This is a delicious rosé that’s as good at the dinner table as it is on the porch. — 8 years ago

Sauvion

Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2015

Dark yellow in color with a yellow tint.

Fruity nose of flowers, citrus, lemons, light grapefruits and green apples.

Medium bodied with medium acidity, crisp and refreshing.

Dry to off dry on the palate with citrus, tangerines, minerals, red apples, light tropical fruits, white peaches, pears and white pepper.

Medium plus in finish with tangy red grapefruit.

This is great Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley. Well-balanced and easy drinking with a little bit of sweetness to cut the acidity.

Not very complex, but so enjoyable by itself or with food. A great party wine, or just to sip on by the porch.

I loved the tangy finish without any bitterness. Really delicious.

11.5% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$14.
