Tasting Notes:
This is the cleanest, freshest Tocai Friulano we have made
since we began collaborating with Kate and Cam Baker at Larkmead Vineyards
in 2000. It has a pale straw color, an earthy, dry mineral nose, and
a tart, astringent feel in the mouth. As we have learned from the
2000 vintage, this wine mellows out very nicely with a year or two
of age. Mike Chelini calls it a crisp, summer wine, and we think of
it as very Italianesque and the perfect wine to accompany the antipasti
platter at your picnic. Just picture the crusty bread, copa, prosciutto,
dried Italian cheeses, olives, and sun dried tomatoes, and next to
them on the table two sparkling glasses of Tocai Friulano. |
