Tutti Frutti Ananas

François Chidaine

Les Tuffeaux Montlouis-sur-Loire Chenin Blanc 2018

Insanely aromatic, thick nose of chamomile, lanolin and the color spectrum of peaches. On the palate tutti-frutti basket with everything from white cherry to oranges. Thank you to the somms that let me interlope on their blinding session today, and sneak a slurp of this magical stuff. — 5 years ago

La Crotta di Vegneron

Vallée d'Aoste Gamay 2014

Lightly pigmented brownish red. A hint of raisin or prune in nose, later a touch of mushroom or funk. Tutti frutti flavor, with time, rose, cherry and prune flavors, soft mouthfeel, crisp finish. Moderately chewy tannin finish with an anise aftertaste. A different flavor profile, but seems varietally true. This one grew on me — 7 years ago

St. Reginald Parish

The Marigny Carbonic Maceration Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir

Light to moderate extraction, purple red. Funk and raspberry notes in nose initially, slight sulfur note lingers. Very slight spritz, tutti frutti flavor. With time, cranberry flavor emerges. Moderate, lingering skin and stem astringency on tongue, moderate chewy stem and seed tannin, slight bitterness. Worth chilling down a bit. A fun, easy drinking nouveau style Pinot with character. Great value. Note tartaric crystals; not cold stabilized. — 7 years ago

Light, fruit forward.

Methode Á L'Ancienne Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2014

This pairing is in honor of my late hero Anthony Bourdain and of the (last ever?) G7 summit being held in Quebec City. I'm pairing this Cali Pinot noir (with rising tariffs in many foreign markets, buy it before prices escalate) with a little light reading for Trump's team on trade (Douglas Irwin is a star trade economist; this is his newly published 800-page history of US trade policy)
But enough pedantry - on, on to the wine: moderately extracted, purple in color, slightly cloudy. Raspberry and hedge notes in nose. Red berry, tutti frutti flavors with a hint of mint, later raspberry, cherry and blueberry, some seed tannins and barrel smoke in mouth. Moderate astringency and seed bitterness in finish. Light citric-lactic tartness in aftertaste. Give it time to open, complex in its crafting but tasty.
