Past the Mission

Mission Hill 2012 Pinot Noir “Reserve” (Okanagan Valley) — Slightly weedy/leafy, a few too many pyrazines, but the fruit is friendly and supple, yet braced by a slash of acidity. Nice enough. (7/16)

TN: Sweet 48th parallel (North American BWE notes…the sweet stuff)

Blossom 2002 Riesling “Select Late Harvest” (Okanagan Valley) – Fat peach and soft apricot with sweet grapes and Juicy Fruit™ gum. Too fluffy and blowsy. (2/07)

Anthony Road 2004 Vignoles Trockenbeerenauslese “Martini Reinhardt Selection” (Finger Lakes) – Grapey and quite acidic, with peach blossoms and clementines predominating. Simple, clean fun. Painfully sweet. (2/07)
