Porch Swing

Matua

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2017

Pale straw color. Floral/ citrus aroma. Nice acidity and balance. Green apple and key lime pie on the palate. Tart but pleasingly refreshing. Summer evening porch pleaser !!! Would do it again !!! — 7 years ago

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

Bright sunshine. Lisa wants to drink this on the porch of our plantation overlooking the Spanish moss covered elms. Lemon, orange peel, stones. Living and vibrant. Great acid/fruit balance. Med+ length. ~chalky texture. Delicious now but good to age. — 9 years ago

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.

Reserve Vermentino 2014

We'll call this a "Waiting Out the Rain" wine. Great minerality, medium body, hint of pear, floral nose. Pairs great with the yet-to-be-released St. Paul & the Broken Bones album on a screened in porch. My boy Thomas Jefferson would be proud of this one--a great Virginia white. — 9 years ago

Zonte's Footstep

Lake Doctor Langhorne Creek Shiraz 2013

It must be the season. It’s time for another cracking Shiraz. Again a very fruit forward style. This time with lashings of mulberry and raspberry predominating on the palate. Lacking a little mid-palate complexity, even after a 3 hour decant. Just hints of dark chocolate bitterness and black olive before the fine but drying tannins take over, driving a long finish. Not too dissimilar in style to Hannah’s Swing, just not as well composed. Nice, but not outstanding. — 9 years ago
