Thanksgiving Weekend Quick Wrap-Up
jseeds | November 26, 2007
We enjoyed a good sampling of American wines with dinner and dessert - with the Meredith Lagier coming out on top.
A premier-cru burgundy the next day disappointed in it’s simplicity.
Ridge, Santa Cruz Chardonnay 2004: Phenolic, fresh, restrained oak, green apples. Unremarkable.
Lagier Meredith, Mt. Veeder Syrah 2003: Perfumed, violets, and lavender, elegant medium-bodied, refined acidity and tannins. Lovely.
Rosenblum, Rhodes Vineyard Petit Sirah 2005: Rich and viscous. Maple syrup on ripe berry waffles, with black pepper and cinnamon. Decadent - almost dessert style.
Bouchard, Beaune du Chateau 2002: Red cherry, black olives. Strange raw “fowlish” aromas. Brisk acidity. Young and simple at this point.
