Peach-apricot and ginger. Pear, melon, talc, and tea leaf. Cool and silky. Lovely now./ Nice, light touch of sweetness. Very juicy and racy. One of the best vintages of this.

NW-2425. 08 CHATEAU STE MICHELLE EROICA RIESLING CV

EOBNW-2450. 04 MINER SIMPSON VIOGNIER CA - End of Bin
Decanter - American White Wine of the Month: ‘Napa Valley’s Miner Family discovered that very fine Viognier is grown by the Simpson family in the Central Valley. One day John Simpson visited Dave Miner to offer samples of his Viognier, and the rest is history. Since 1997 Miner Family has been making splendid Viognier from the low-yielding Simpson Vineyard in Madera. For this 2004, the fruit was not aged in oak nor did it undergo malolactic fermentation. The result is a vibrant white offering lovely scents of white peach, tropical fruit and floral-honeysuckle. Rich but never syrupy, it offers great fresh fruit flavours and finishes on a racy edge. Arguably one of Miner’s finest Viogniers, this 2004 will provide enjoyment over the next 2-3 years.’

Tasters Guild Double Gold Medal winner (45 out of 1650 entries). I can see why. Honeysuckle and laurel. Tea, mate. Special./ Yes, the sweet fruit and light glycerol set against the astringent botanicals like laurel. It’s full, completely dry. Long lasting, cleansing finish.

NW-2460. NV DELICATO SWEET MARIE CA
Muscat and riesling. Good, floral, carefully managed muscat fragrance. I would have guessed some chenin blanc from the plump, melony nature. A tiny gem. This sold well at the winery tasting room for years, so someone finally said Hell, let’s market it! 90/100.

NW-2462. 09 VINA ROBLES HUERHUERO WHITE PR
Wow! This is wild! Even flashier and more complex than the fine 08. Some neat perfumes in here. Flowers, peaches. Reminds me more of malvasia than muscat or viognier. In fact, it’s verdelho, vermentino, sauvignon blanc, and viognier in order of importance. Well assembled cuvee./ Lemon drop, flowers, grass, apple, stone fruit. Action City. I’m looking for Thai inspirations. 91/100.
