Just concluded the annual Fall seclusion at our cabin in the Rangeley lakes region of Maine, mobile service up there is mostly non-existent, after several days I am posting again. Notes are somewhat brief, as my focus is relaxing and watching the Common Loons swimming and diving in the cove in front of our camp. Nose has washed green table grapes, clean cotton tee shirt, candied pineapple and stainless steel. Palate has smashed crabapples, faint maraschino cherry, (minor) green melon and present but fading acidity. This bottle is in decline, but I still enjoy it more than the 2016.

About 14 mo. since my last check in on this bottle of Pinot Gris rosé, very similar notes from the prior experience. Nose has green grapes, cherry skin and steely minerals. Palate had solid acidity, light but fresh pineapple, crabapple and red currant. Remaining bottles should be enjoyed before mid-2020. Today's yardwork is complete, time for enjoying some bottles in front of a fire in the chimenea!

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this final afternoon with Steve Martin and Martin Short, along with The Steep Canyon Rangers and Jeff Babko. Nose has green grapes, cherry skin and steely minerals. Palate is rich with acidity, light but fresh pineapple, zingy crabapple and red currant. Lovely after and hour or so of air, likely close to peak, remaining bottles should be enjoyed before mid-2020.

On the lawn for Tanglewood this evening, Film Night with Andris Nelsons & John Williams, mostly playing scores from JW scored films, Dracula, E.T., Indiana Jones, Close Encounters, Harry Potter and of course Star Wars! Love this PG rosé, 2015 is the vintage for this producer!

White on the nose and rose on the palate. Really vibrant and fresh.

Perfect wine for the black glass challenge: is it pink or white? Fantastically crisp and refreshing whatever the color...
