Dinner at my parents’ house. Always an excuse for some good wine.
1997 J. J. Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese
This has been riding along in early maturity for a couple of years, and tonight’s bottle was no different. Still plenty of fruit, but also some smoky elements and waves of minerality. Delicious.
2011 Matthiasson White Wine (Napa)
A bracing blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Ribolla Gialla that shows juicy lemon fruit and great cut. I hate Sauvignon Blanc, but I love this for its fruit and cut. Also delicious.
2012 Ceritas Peter Martin Ray Vineyard Chardonnay (SCM)
Breed, class, precise fruit and a structure that is spot on. Drinks as if it is a California Grand Cru. For the third time, delicious.
This was a great trio of wines.
