Friday Wine Tasting at Pettyjohns Liquor and WIne

BALBOA GRUNER VETlLINER 2021 - 100% Gruner Veltiner grown in Walla Walla, Washington. Only 280 cases produced of this native grape to Austria. This is a lovely wine that bursts with citrus flavors of lime and grapefruit. On the palate the wine leads with flavors of salt and lemon. This is a unique offering as we do not see much Gruner Veltliner grown in the U.S. Great for a spring day or accompanied with oysters.

DOMAINE LE CAPITAINE VOUVRAY  - The Vouvray appellation was created in 1936 and is considered one of the most important white producing areas of the Loire Valley. The wines of this area can range from dry to sweet. This wine falls directly in the middle of that scope. Consider this a demi sec style. 100% Chenin Blanc with notes of peach, apples, and pears. Spicy honey flavors give this wine a well-rounded texture. Great acidity and slight sweetness make this a great match for spicy fare. 

MATTHEW FRITZ PINOT NOIR 2021  - 100% Pinot Noir from the Matthew Fritz winery in Santa Lucia Highlands. This pinot noir is medium bodied with ruby color. Aromas of violets, clove, and fresh dark cherries on the nose. The palate is elegant, textured and filled with ripe raspberry, cherry, and hints of black tea. Medium tannin and mouth watering acidity on the finish. 

CHÂTEAU DE TERREFORT LESCALLE 2020 

80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet, and 10% Petit Verdot make up this fantastic blend from Bordeaux, France. This is a very approachable medium bodied claret with juicy berry fruit and classic notes of savory tobacco on the palate. Elegantly balanced on the palate, this wine represents an amazing value from one of the world’s top wine making appellations of Bordeaux France.
