Tonight's wine was in the back of the cellar and I knew without a doubt it would be a good one. Campesino Cellars, small lot handcrafted wines which can be enjoyed young or if you prefer lay them down and watch them age gracefully. Just don't forget they are in there like I did (humidity damaged the label)
Alina is a blend of 50% Marsanne and 50% Roussanne harvested from the Sonoma Valley. The nose is full of citrus and floral notes followed by a kiss of honey and a faint hint of spice. The mouth is crisp and refreshing with sweet pear, peach, tangerine, grapefruit, honey and toasted nuts with a touch of barrel spice on the finish. Allow it to warm and watch the flavors intertwine and dance across your palate. Really nice wine Macario.
Swing by their website and pick up the 2016 vintage of this exquisite wine before it's sold out. One of my all time favorite white blends.
Cheers
Dan
