3 fun wines tried today.
Trenel Macon Village Blanc 2006 not as hot as vintage, more of the steely mineral slate that burgundy is known for. a relatively quick finish but very refreshing..
Stony Hill Chardonnay 2005 an oddity in Napa a chardonnay that is meant to age..this wine is just a baby... straw color and an earthy nose as close to burgundy as you can find from napa...this is a cult wine for a lot of the winemakers in california...there old vine chard on high land..lots of use of oak BUT it is not new...the wine is fermented and aged in oak barrels that are ancient. such a long luxurious finish... not cheap but definitely worth it.
Genot Boulanger Mercurey 2006 from the Cote Chalonnaise one of the value regions of burgundy. this pinot noir was nothing like I had at summer camp..earthy and mushrooms witha purple opaque color..some red cherry fruit mostly soft and supple. we are still in the 2005 right now..
