Paul Gregutt has a recent Substack on Washington state Chenins so I bought up a few of the latest vintages this weekend to revisit them. Starting with Kiona “Old Vines”. Pale yellow white, excellent clarity. Some melon and orchard fruit in the nose. Dryish with some spritz-like character in the middle, slightly viscous body, some skin astringency on the finish. An array of flavors - melon lemon apple pear stone fruit, good enough acid for the dryish sugar level. Easy sipping, great complexity and value for the money. The spritz is actually a tactile sensation on the tongue coming from some combination of the wine’s acidity and grape skin tannin astringency. — a month ago

Rezabal is a family owned winery located in the Basque country of Spain in Zarautz and belonging to PDO "Getariako Txakolina". Made from Hondarribi-Zuri grape, pale lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruits noticing a light spritz in the glass. On the palate flavors of apple and lemon citrus, vivid acidity, low alcohol. Medium finish ending with fruit and mineral character. — 4 years ago

St. Agrestis’s Brooklyn made aperitivo with purified sparkling water and Glera shipped in from Veneto! So cool. Sweet up front but finishes more bitter than Aperol. What a neat local beverage. — 5 years ago

What a journey! Spritz to the taste and feel at first and slowly turning into a silky smooth, beautiful and juicy red. Lots of flavor, deep cherry and hints of iron/leather. — 3 years ago

A délicate bouquet of fresh lime, ripe peaches with hints of slate. Lots of zing, a forward acid with a spritz at the end! Simply decadent! — 4 years ago

I don’t even know how to describe this wine. Despite being made from Nebbiolo, it’s more Bojo than Barolo. It’s light, aromatic, and has a really light spritz. It’s kind of like if Fleurie had a baby with Lambrusco. It’s a wine that makes me really happy. For a second, you could take a sip and forget about climate change, COVID, and everything else that is wrong with the world. — 4 years ago
