Artisanal Cellars Dovetail white 2008
concoction: 50% Viognier, 50% Roussanne
visuals: carefree yellow.
sniffings: pleasantly floral.
palate: honey like and refreshing, without overbearing sweetness.
ruling: the best recipe for a spring wedding.
Apolloni Pinot Noir 2007
visuals: reveal the darker side of pinot.
sniffings: Barbie and Ken's leathery plastic love.
palate: wild cherries and rubbery tannins.
ruling: 2007 was a difficult vintage for Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. The wines were typically thinner and weaker due to cooler temperatures. For $23 I would not recommend this bottle. Still, this wine is drinkable and not unpleasant by any means.
Three Rivers Winery Meritage 2004
concoction: a mutt of Cabernet Savignon, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot.
palate: this guy is big and dry.
ruling: my top pick of the tasting. when next we meet, it'll be over a juicy hunk of meat. yum.
