Community Tasting Note

Sunday, October 7, 2012 - Relatively deep gold in color. Powerfully aromatic on the nose, with notes of green and oakmoss that evoke an impression of several colognes. On memory, this reminds me of most Creed Green Valley, or perhaps a fresher version of Kouros. But there's also a woody peach note that adds further depth. On the palate, initially sharper and less rich than the nose would suggest with a noticeable astringency. Fortunately, these rough edges largely round off with time in the glass and coming more in line with room temperature. Pairing this with pesto pasta was unsuccessful, as the greenish character of the wine (and its residual astringency) fought with some of the same elements in the dish. I think this would be better pitted against an meat entree with some fat. Pork tenderloin in a mild preparation comes to mind. Or cheeses.
