#AgedWineTuesday

Pretty deep golden in color.

Strong nose of light diesel, apples, spices, herbs, sweet lemons and light honey notes.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry to off dry on the palate with honey, lemons, citrus, apples, pears, light earth, herbs and spices.

Long finish with lemons and limes.

What a delicious Riesling from Williamette Valley this is. Soft and elegant, complex and smooth.

This 13 year old Single Vineyard Riesling is nicely balanced with enough acidity to balance the sugars.

Drinking beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with spicy Asian foods.

100% Riesling grapes were aged in (30% neutral) French Oak barrels and stainless steel vats for 12 months.

12% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Beautiful Chardonnay from Oregon. Sleek and lithe with notes of pear, white flowers and honey. Pineapple, lemon, brioche and almond. Perfect amount of oak and acid. Perfect with a cheese board and friends on a summer night. — 5 years ago

Nose of delicate oak, Meyer lemon, and bee pollen. The pallet hits with a rush of acidity, minerality, and that sweet Meyer lemon again, almost like a lemon sorbet, with a ripe pineapple finish and honey. The more it sits the more complex it gets. Quite tasty with the Louisiana style roast chicken I’m eating. Yum! — 7 years ago

A blend of several viineyards, aromas of fruit and toasty creamy oak spice. On the palate pear, apple and hints of peach with citrus notes and nice round oaky honey tones. Medium+ finish ending with a creamy mineral edge. Nice! — 7 years ago

A superb Chardonnay! Aromas of Anise and Honeysuckle. Apple and Honey on the bud. Crisp and smooth with a long finish. Great with our Salmon tonight. Need to order more from Evening Springs as we were extremely impressed with their wines when we visited earlier this year. — 7 months ago

Nice meeting Paul Lato and talking about his wines.

This Zotovich Vineyard offering is delicious young but, will evolve into even greater pleasure in 5-6 years.

The body is full, round with beautiful texture. There is nice mix of perfectly ripe red & dark fruits with excellent blue fruits that hover around the plate. Gentle, soft wood use and subtle baking spices. This bottling walks the tightrope of Burgundy with its perfect waterfall acidity and round, soft structure and has Californian well ripen fruits.

He is one of few Southern California producers that doesn’t over extract and brings out those wonderful blue fruits I love in good Pinot Noirs.

Paul’s cousin was also nice to pour us a glass of one of their 2011 Chardonnays that was really beautiful and drinking at its peak. I didn’t get the vineyard designation as it was at the end of the event and security was being aggressive about clearing the hall. But, again, a beautifully textured Chardonnay that was round with beautiful fruit, great acidity and just the right amount of heather-honey notes. 9.5 on the Chardonnay. — 7 years ago

Light gold in color.

Nose of citrus, apples, light earth, oak, herbs, light sea salt, spices, light honey and minerals.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with limes, light grapefruits, herbs, oak, light toast, sea salt, tangerines and white pepper.

Tangy finish with limes and grapefruits.

This young Chardonnay from Oregon is starting to drink nicely now. Showing nice complexity and good balance. Feels like a fruit forward white Burgundy. Elegant and spicy.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes of airtime.

Tangy, interesting and better when not too cold. Soft and smooth.

This Single Vineyard Chardonnay will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years. Has good potential to become a 93 point wine.

A good sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

100% Chardonnay grapes were aged in (20% new) French oak barrels for 14 months. A small production of only 287 cases.

13.1% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

9.0

Green apple (maybe peach) and honey suckle on the nose. Thick mouth feel. None of the Stoney, flinty flavor that you associate with Oregon Pinot Gris. Well balanced, almost off-dry, with strong residual sugars. From our honeymoon collection (2012). — 6 years ago

Inspired by the golden hills that frame the landscape of San Bernabe Vineyard at the southern edge of the Santa Lucia Mountain range. Deep color with berry fruit aromas and notes of toasty honey scents. On the palate blueberry and cherry flavors with vanilla, cacao and toasty notes. Smooth tannins balanced well with acidity, lingering ending with espresso and spice character. Nice value. — 7 years ago
