4th Saturday Group brown bagger (Rich & Dana's): This has got the palest yellowish pink color I have ever seen- this looks like a rosé only by the slimmest of margins. Aromas of melon, pear and florals. Has a subtle Riesling-like petrol quality, but also peach, melon and mineral nuances. Bright acidity with a fine bead. I guessed Languedoc (and should have ended the night right there on a high note). L1236 5165.

Time, give this time! Initial taste was good but about an hour later, this wine has really come together.
Pale copper, salmon color. Creamy strawberries and lemon curd on the nose; crisp yet full layered body of berry fruit and mineral/steel; 10+ second finish.

An overachieving wine, with nice yeasty notes and complex stone fruit and citrus flavors.

Another excellent showing. Similar to 11/28/11. I think this would make a great ringer/decoy in a Champagne rose tasting.
