- hotwine - 08-11-2003 With oak-grilled salmon covered with a paste of olive oil, white wine vinegar, chopped garlic, basil, parsley and a bit of coarse salt: decanted an hour before dinner. Burst of fruit on the nose, lots more on the palate, more still on the finish.... Where's the soil? Coundn't find a sense of place, just lots of fruit. 13% ABV and $14.49 at the local discounter. - wondersofwine - 08-12-2003 That's one I haven't tried yet. Is it from Santa Barbara County? - Kcwhippet - 08-12-2003 At that price, it sounds like the Santa Maria Valley. - hotwine - 08-12-2003 It is indeed from the Santa Maria Valley. Maybe this is their low-end label? Simply found it to be unremarkable. Have to admit that the PN's I've tried have all been ho-hum... but then, I've not tried any of the high-dollar Burgs, or any PN over about $30. |
