Community Tasting Notes 5

  January 5, 2013 - Bring a big cali syrah (My place, Chicago IL): nose: This was nice and balanced right from the start with some tones of marshmallow, pears, lemon zest and cream tones with a touch of toasted oak.
  
  taste: Fuller bodied with medium acidity. Balanced with nice depth, but slightly hollow on the mid-palate. It's backed up with very good tones of pears, lemon zest, and cream tones along with a touch of citrus.
  
  overall: I didn't expect this to be so nice. It's a really nice Bordeaux blanc blend from the Niagara.

  January 5, 2013 - An Evening of Californian Syrah (Keith's House): A nice surprise! Nice tangy fruit with lots of zippy citrus and herbal tones. What a pleasure drinking this amongst a series of high-octane Californian syrah!

  August 1, 2010 - Excellent wine. Classic Sauvignon Blanc aromatics of grass and passionfruit are complemented by a rich, waxy Sémillon-driven palette. The oak regimen has given this wine a nice, rounded note. Drinking really well right now.

  February 3, 2009 - Rich flavour. Nice citrus with oak finish. Good for cream sauce but doesn't overpower scallops.
