Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 11, 2015 - As a wine club member, I happened to have a couple of bottles of the 2010 Rainbow Cuvée on hand, so we pulled a cork last night, with the wine well chilled, and poured a couple of glasses. In the glass, a lovely light straw color, no pink showing from the tiny amount of PN in the dosage. First impression of the nose: a light citrusy aroma, lemon and lime, really pleasant. On the palate, more of the same, plus some flinty minerality, with a nice acidity to balance it off. As the wine warmed up a bit during the meal, I started to taste some of the pear flavors I was expecting, together with a light yeastiness. Later still, nearing room temperature, I got the distinct aroma and taste of green apples, along with everything else. A delicious, complex bubbly, perfect with our meal. Chilean Sea Bass with a lime juice, shallot, cilantro, and ginger sauce, accompanied by jasmine rice and steamed snow peas finished with lemon-infused EVOO.
When the Iron Horse sales department called last month, I didn't mind ordering a couple at $58/bottle, plus shipping. At this price, even harder to resist.
