Wine Sense Two Cents

This week’s W.o.W. is deliciously bright with cool, crisp, lemon & lime notes. An Austrian white that’ll give Sauvignon Blanc a run for its money! A wonderful, warm-weather sipper, Aichenberg Gruner is a perfect compliment to seafood and spicier Asian dishes.

Would you consider yourself the hunter or the huntee? Whichever you are,  you can definitely enjoy the Predator Old Vine Zinfandel!

Predator has a gorgeous deep ruby color, bold aromas, velvety texture and delicious flavors of ripe cherries, blackberries, exotic spices with a silky, lingering finish.

And a fun-fact about Predator’s Ladybug logo is that the winemaker’s use “natural predation” in their vineyards instead of pesticides. The end result is a more eco-friendly wine with a whole lot less negative impact on the environment!

Château Penin Tradition Bordeaux Supérieur 2009

This week’s W.o.W. comes from the heart of Bordeaux and is a beautiful expression of the soil in that region. This makes it stand out among the other Bordeaux Supérieur wines.

Château Penin is full-bodied, round and fleshy and still retains harmony. And the touch of Cabernet Franc gives the mix of berry fruit a little funkiness.

Belle Glos Meiomi Pinot Noir 2009

Bright, deep garnet color. Aromas of cola, blackberries and a sweet cedar note. A greatly layered palette abundant in flavor and texture. The first entry incases the mouth with a velvety richness. Then the wine unloads with flavors of bright cherry, cola, dried leaves undertoned with vanilla, leather and high style oak. The many layers emerge independently, then refocus while the supple tannins carry the wine through to a lingering, succulent finish.

The thought of Meiomi Pinot Noir with Easter ham has my mouth watering!
