Sorry, I've fallen behind in my blogging responsibilities. Also, we've not been drinking a lot of new wines. Last week we had this white blend form Chile. it was 35% Viognier, 35% Reisling, and 30% Chardonnay. This wine received 89 points from the International Wine Cellar. I picked this up in Atlanta from Total Wine for $15. We had this with a roasted chicken dish with greens, onions and toasted squares of bread. The dish was delicious from Food and Wine magazine December issue page 106. The wine was not so good.
The color was pale straw. The aromas were apricot with minerality and a touch of smokey oak. The flavor profile was similar with apricot and pear. The flavors were a little too subtle. It had a nice minerality and bright, refreshing acidity, but it just seemed disjointed. Overall, while I liked the minerality of this wine, it lacked personality. Definitely a pass.
