Community Tasting Notes 7

  September 21, 2019 - Excellent fruit with lymon on the attack and continuing with a fresh and clean nose and a strong backbone of acidity frames the palate. 13.7% alc. With bread from Lynchburg (ok) and cow cheeses from Staunton (not bad!). With PM and DD as we return from Lynchburg. Recommended.

  September 1, 2019 - Previously, I’ve asked, “Could this be anything more like a Sancerre without being a Sancerre?” The answer is a resounding, “Yes!” Glen Manor SB is much more Sancerre-like than this Avenius. Excellent fruit with lymon on the attack, but it lacks the flinty finish of the Glen Manor. Nevertheless, the Avenius continues to show a fresh and clean nose with a strong backbone of acidity frames the palate. 13.7% alc. With leftover tomato pie. Recommended.

  April 4, 2019 - What I wrote 7 months ago still holds true now: “Could this be anything more like a Sancerre without being a Sancerre? Silver moon in the glass offering up the smell of a bench of limestone following a rain on a torridly hot afternoon, wet grass, flint, lymon with more lime than lemon. A fresh and clean nose. A strong backbone of acidity frames the flavors as they track the bouquet. The finish is similar to sucking on limestone.” 13.7% alc. With roasted fennel and other veggies and ravioli under a tomato cream sauce. Recommended.
