Palmina - Pinot Grigio Santa Barbara County
Vintage: 2006
Size: 750ml
Price: $16.99
Picked by: Chuck Green
|
Palmina is a Californian celebration of the rich, wonderful lifestyle and attitude toward food, wine, friends and family that exists in Italy. Owners and wine makers Steve and Chrystal Clifton craft a unique range of Italian varietal wines produced in Santa Barbara.
The light flaxen color of this Pinot Grigio shines through the glass like polished gold. White peach and melon aromas mingle with a stony minerality. On the palate, a rich and silky creaminess then burst forth with a lively acidity. Intense citrus notes of lemon, orange peel and persistent finish of lemon-lime lingers.

Bouchard Aine & Fils, Meursault, Hospice de Beaune, Cuvee Jehan Humblot 2004, $49.99 per 750ml, $99.99 per 1.5 Liter:
This is a very special wine with a known history of 407 years. How many wines can that be said of? The 2004 Cuvee Jehan Humblot is an insanely rich and complex Meursault with a straw-gold color, taken mainly from vines in the premier cru vineyard Les Poruzots; a rich, buttery lemon and hazelnut aroma precedes a mouth bursting with tropical fruit (pineapple, lemon) and nutty toasted oak, followed by the long warming finish that is the hallmark of a great wine. 93 points. Tasted 4/10/07. -JD Pate

Pahlmeyer - Jayson Pinot Noir
Vintage: 2005
Size: 750ml
Price: $62.99
Picked by: Scott Gargus
|
The Jayson label is Pahlmeyer's second label, however, this Pinot Noir easily blows away a lot of "flagship" efforts by other wineries. Although this is a rich, fully-ripened fruit style of wine, it is exceedingly graceful and doesn't come off as heavy-handed in any way. Silky and supple, great body and a long, flavorful finish. Easily worth the money, and highly recommended to any fan of Pinot Noir or to those who don't yet realize that they love this grape!
Tasted July, 2007
