Wine Reviews

From a 500ml bottle (which is a great size for a white wine) as part of their futures program.  Golden in color, a bit deeper in tone (oak?).  The nose  is classic Rhys, lemon curd, vanilla, slight citrus and spice.  Full bodied.  Crisp acidity.  On the palate, this is delicious.  Lemon Cream, vanilla, and spice.  Dry.  Long finish.  This is wonderful on its own and went quite well with Garlic Hummus and assorted veggies.  Drink over the next ten years (in this format).  

This is a 100% Chardonnay, sparkling wine from Burgundy.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  A bit of a mousse with small-ish bubbles.  The nose is nice with almonds, red apples and a slight yeasty/bread note.  Medium bodied.  Good acidity.  On the palate, this has nice apples with almonds on the persistent finish.  This is a nice moderately priced sparkling wine that is very food friendly.  This would go nicely with a bowl of French Onion Soup with melted Gruyere Cheese.
