Tasting Notes January 10, 2015

Here's what's on deck for this Saturday's tasting:

La Vieille Ferme Luberon Blanc $10.99
Bright and crunchy with tasty lime and kiwifruit notes, followed by a tangy green fig edge on the finish; this fresh French white pairs well with poultry, rabbit and seafood.

Lurton Araucano Pinot Noir $15.49
A pale red color, verging on ruby, with tints of reds. We can find in the nose an aromatic intensity built around fresh strawberries and blackberries, plums, even apricots. A hint of mint and eucalyptus mingles with the aromatic complexity of all the wine witch structure is supple, velvety and long, and reveals a suavity that is typical of this variety in Chile.

La Rioja Alta Vina Alberdi Reserva Tinto $21.99
Bright and lively deep cherry red with a pinkish rim. Intense on the nose, with aromas of ripe red berries (strawberries and blackberries) and roasted coffee and caramel balsamic notes. Good structured and well-balanced on the palate, with sweet tannins that led to a fresh and lingering finish. Aftertaste that recalls sweet spiced notes, candied fruit, minted chocolate, roasted coffee and caramel.

Quady Electra Orange $13.49
With the first sip you feel the wine- light as springtime, delicately sweet, refreshingly crisp, a bouquet of flowers with the taste of peach and melon. Electra is electricity for the mouth!
