May 1, 2017 - MNB: High Terpene Whites (Home (Noe st)): (blind)
Pale Lemon color.
Medium intensity aromatics of lees and slightly developed stone fruit. Canned peach. Nectarine.
Some RS - around 10g.
- Full-bodied
- High alcohol and viscous - 14.5%
- Slight oak - but used.
- Ripe and overripe peach
- Medium acid
- High bitterness
Long unctuous finish.
Condrieu
- CA Viognier - not high alcohol enough, no overt new oak.
- Gewurz - not sugary enough, nor aromatic enough.
Final guess: 2014 Condrieu, but could use more fruit.
Actually: Cline Viognier!!!
This is damn good for a $17.99 California Viognier, and easily the best wine from Cline I've ever tasted. -

February 16, 2017 - color: light yellow; nose: apple; taste: light-bodied mouthfeel, soft and slightly sweet taste, firm medium-length finish with notes of apple and flint, mild tannins; overall: pleasant and simple, fair QPR ($13/bottle), ready to drink as of Feb 2017, would pair well with Thai, Ethiopian, or other spicy foods
