Chardonnay

This is made using American Oak barrels.  Medium golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose has char, some lemon, dill and vanilla.  Medium bodied.  On the palate, this seems a bit disjointed.  Hopefully it comes together with some age.  Flavors of char, and a bit weedy, the fruit seems more to the back but lemon comes out on the finish.  Probably better with food.  Big flavors would help.  

This is Unoaked Chardonnay from the northeast corner of Ohio along Lake Erie.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is clean with slight green apples with a bit of wild herbs.  Medium bodied.  Crisp acidity.  On the palate, the green apples carry thru.  This is an easy drinking white wine that is nice on its own and would be nice with grilled Lake Erie Trout or other grilled fish.  Drink over the next couple of years.  

This 2021 Brut Rose marks Cuvaison’s ninth vintage of producing a sparkling wine. Comprised of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, there is a lovely delicateness to this wine, a softness that is alluring. You will find notes of strawberry, raspberry, light lemon chiffon, white peach, violet petals, rose water, a hint of black cherry, and lime peel. There is a compelling minerality running through this along with a moderate acidity to make this structurally competent. The fruit is evident, the bubbles inviting and this makes for a great food companion

Yellow gold in color with slight green hues, clear and bright. The nose is nice. Some lemons, slightly "sweaty" with a but of earthines. Full bodied. Good balance. On the palate, this is cleaner than the nose. Lemon drop candy with a nice texture. Some char/smoke. Turn tart (in a good way on the finish). This is nice on its own and will work well with many foods. A nice choice would be grilled veggies. Drink over the next few years.
