Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 30, 2012 - I am writing more and more overly positive tasting notes, I know. But I guess that depends on the wines mostly come from my personal cellar, which of course contains only wines I know I love. Tonight the 2007 Rochioli River Block Chardonnay is performing outstandingly well. The nose is full of the very classy deep Chardonnay fruit, honeysuckle, white flowers, caramel peach, wet granite and a subtle well integrated touch of oak. The palate is full-bodied and displays a vivid array of all the necessary components: fruit, oak and acidity, yet there is full and lucid integration. Very impressive. If there is one thing that stands out, it is the brilliant acidity which adds an extra dimension and makes this effort a super combination to food. (Served to back of North Sea cod, summer potatoes, dill, clarified butter, fresh Strömstad shrimp and lemon juice - a very traditional Swedish dish and excellent when served to the 07 River Block.)
