Community Tasting Notes 3

  January 27, 2023 - Flowers, spice, bright yellow tropical fruits and minerality adorn the finish. On the palate, the wine is lush, fresh and lively, with the perfect balance between all of its ripe fruits, freshness, oily textures ad acidities. Drink from 2022 - 2031.

  January 12, 2023 - Amongst all the 20 different CDP blancs (mostly from 2020 vintage) we had tasted, this cuvee A Tempo is the most opulent and smooth full body texture. The profile has honeysuckle and ripe white peach flavor with uplifting citrusy aromatics. It's a style that I thought very modern and Santa Barbara gang (SQN and its disciples). Some members thought it reminded them drinking a great vintage of Burgundy Grand Cru.
  
  We drank this wine along with 2021 Janasse Prestige over a luxurious HK-style dinner menu. Over the course of the menu as we progress from seafood to meat dishes, we noticed that Pegau is best pair with seafood; and Janasse Prestige is a more powerful wine with enough structure to continue pairing with meat dishes.
  
  I think this is because Pegau is an equal blending of rousssane, grenache blanc and clairette; whereas Janasse Prestige reflects the 2021 vintage and a different blend.

  July 13, 2022 - I loved this. Had a grappa purity streak that was nicely boxed with citrus peel and quince and a macadamia fat structure. There were so many wipeout points here that broke the right way like a perfect snowboard run.
