- wondersofwine - 05-01-2003 Alexander Valley, CA Hoot Owl Creek Vineyards 39.0 Brix at harvest residual sugar after fermentation: 22.8 Brix 9.4% alcohol by volume In a half bottle Color: amber gold with slight orange tinge Nose: Pear syrup, honeysuckle Taste: Ensuing sensations of honey, acid, quince, apricot and pear; intriguing flavors but doesn't seem to quite meld together; more focused the second night Nice late harvest effort from Arrowood. Not the best match for strawberry mini-tartlets--a light red wine with strawberry- like flavors would have been better; Banfi Rosa Regale Brachetto d'Acqui or some French rose' perhaps. |
