Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 6, 2015 - Pineapple, white flower nose. A little more lemon curd at lower temp, but with air it tended much more tropical and new world with a certain pineapple-upside-down cake with brown butter, saline, a lemon twist with a bit of toast. Sappy, tangy with a super acid drive with a mineral finish that lasts. This medium plus bodied wine has a density and slight reduction to it and the minerality and acid for tension and levity, though it's far from elegant. A truly muscular effort. For such a savory and bright wine the common adage would be new meets old world, but really probably too heavy handed for a proper chablis, but it surely has the acid. Another example why Oregon Chards are an undervalue proposition and at <40 this out performs any acid-hounds expectations and I much prefer the Ayoub chard to the pinots.
