West County Cider

Marcassin

Three Sisters Vineyard Chardonnay 2010

9.3

Weekly Wednesday Wine Committee lunch...always such a treat to attend. This week, Dan hosted. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine. All blind as usual.

Gosh...I think these Marcassin chards (and pinots) are probably desert island wines. I went back and forth between CdP white or a Chardonnay...I ultimately ended on Chardonnay and said if this is west coast, it could only be Marcassin. Quite a bit of sulfur here to go alongside a rich, butterscotch nose and a full-bodied palate showing smoked hazelnut notes.

Not West block on label but it was. Just in a great place. Dried cherries, rose petals and cedar. Mouth showing wood a bit and toast. Reminds me of meo camuzet in use of wood. Great bottle — 11 years ago

Hirsch Vineyards

East Ridge Pinot Noir 2010

A wine of contradiction. Brilliant ruby w translucent edges. Energetic fruit on the nose, especially present when poured alongside 2010 West ridge. But the palate is all earth and spice. Awesome — 9 years ago
