Tasting Notes May 16, 2015

Avive Natural Peach Sparkling Wine $11.99
Fresh and crisp, with a splash of sweetness. Perfect as an apéritif or alongside casual fare. Makes a great spring and summer sipping wine or a great gift for the sweet wine drinker in your life.

Pikes Clare Valley Riesling $13.49
Typically fresh and bright displaying layers of lemon/lime zest, tropical fruit and subtle nuances of mineral and wet slate. Fresh, crisp and dry, the palate is loaded with all the lemon/lime/slate mentioned above. These are all tightly woven around a core of bright acidity providing length and drive to the soft, dry finish.

Avignonesi Cantaloro Toscana $18.49
A blend of Italian and international varieties, this wine displays rich, yet fragrant fruity aromas, intertwined with notes of Mediterranean herbs and subtle spicy hints. A very versatile, young red wine, Cantaloro can be enjoyed as an aperitif, served slightly cold, or paired with cold cuts, vegetable pasta dishes, soups, poultry and fresh cheeses.

G.D. Vajra Langhe Rosso $16.49
A hue of violet red. Aromas of red fruits, plums, underbrush as well as  oral and spicy fragrances intrigue your senses from the very  first moment. A nice correspondence on the palate where hints of almond, black pepper and Asian spices come together for a nice refreshing  finish.
