2018 C.V.N.E. (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España) Rioja Blanco

Well crafted and solid value white rioja.
Nose has a slightly oxidative character with aromas of generous oak, pear, golden raisin, orange oil, vanilla, honey, honeysuckle, and pink peppercorn.
Low - medium acidity and medium weight on the palate. Touch or astringency on the back palate which helps elongate the finish. Tasty!

2017 Qupé Roussanne Hillside Estate Bien Nacido Vineyard

Oak, peaches, and cream. This wine is a wild contrast of confectionery nose and lively palate.
Nose is dominated by wood, creamy malolactic acid that sits somewhere between yogurt and crème brûlée, and ripe white peach. Touch of brown butter and marzipan.
On the palate it’s viscous, verging on oily but with lots of linear drive from the acidity that keeps it fresh and grippy. Finish is long and complex. This one is a bit weird and I think the wood is just a touch out of balance but it’s tasty nonetheless.

2020 Roland Lavantureux Chablis Vieilles Vignes

Good but not great. A touch underripe and vegetal for my taste.
Aromas of crabapple and tart Granny Smith apple, flint, struck match, asparagus, steamed broccoli, canned green beans, lactic acid, and sea shell at low tide.
On the palate lean and linear with high acidity and a grippy finish. Good food wine.
