Davis Bynum Sauvignon Blanc Pairs With Hackleback Caviar

To some this is a good Sauvignon Blanc summer sipper but there is more to it. 

Wine producer Davis Bynum  focuses on producing wines from single vineyards in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. The Davis Bynum Virginia Block Sauvignon Blanc grapes comes from the Jane’s Vineyard and from the block of grapes named after his wife Virginia.

This 2016 is lively with its citrus and honeydew melon notes. To give this wine its medium body, neutral french oak barrels (132 gallon barrels ) were used during the wine making. The refreshing finish makes this a great summer casual wine.

So what better way to enjoy this wine then with Casual Caviar from Lady Elena Caviar. Our Hackleback caviar on a blini is the perfect summers snack to enjoy with this 2016 Davis Bynum Virginia Block Sauvignon Blanc.

Tempus Two Wine and Casual Caviar for a Summer Day

Solar Eclipse or a Caviar Eclipse

The Solar Eclipse is coming and so is a Caviar Eclipse.

A solar eclipse is when the moon appears to completely cover the disk of the sun.


A Caviar Eclipse is what you see when you have had way too much champagne and not enough caviar.

With this pairing the slight chalk note appears with the caviar and the fruit is sweetened a bit. After the palate is cleansed the sweet fruit just lingers along to a mouth watering finish.

Lallier Champagne Series R Code

Since September 2015 Champagne Lallier has changed their label on their champagnes in their Permanent

collection.

New Code on Label

In fairly decent size letters there is a new code on the label informing us of the harvest year for the wine.

Here is an example code  R.2012.  The R represents the first letter of Recolte which is French for "harvest". Therefore R.012 represents the house style of Lallier  using  mostly the grapes of the 2012 harvest with the balance comprising of reserve wines.


This is not a vintage champagne. It is the Lallier house style which over time will show how the predominate harvest year has an effect during its ageing.

Chateau Gazin of Pomerol

2003 Chateau Gazin
It is now showing its age. That youth full fruit of a few years ago has relaxed to a less powerful wine.

This is a blend of mostly Merlot with some Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The wine has more subtleties now which makes it a different pleasant experience. It still has a youthful color and its freshness. Drink it sooner than later.
Cheers

1990 Dominus Wine (Dominus Spiritus Sanctus)

This 1990 Dominus wine from Christian Moueix in Napa Valley is a great after church wine or anytime wine.

If you are looking for an overpowering fruit bomb in this 1990 look elsewhere. This is about Napa Valley fruit not being masked by the wine making process. An hour after the bottle was opened, it slowly opened up some more.

There are gentle aromas of concentrated black cherries,charred oak and undertones of menthol. On the palate there are dense powerful elegant tannins. These tannins just melt away on the elegant finish.

Truly a bottle of wine that can age and it came with its cellar dust.

Burgundy Week Special Wine

To celebrate Burgundy week I opened an old Burgundy-a 1985 Georges Lignier Clos Denis Grand Cru.

It has a beautiful aged Pinot Noir color to it. The aromas were filled with wet cardboard and a musty dirty wine cellar. The taste was just as exciting. It was really upsetting to have this bottle be CORKED.

For me it was a Gran Corked wine.

Would be interested in hearing about how this should have tasted.

New Zealand Pinot Noir Wine

Stepping aside for the day from pairing those famous New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs with White Sturgeon caviar, I discovered New Zealand Pinot Noir of 2017.

Here time was a friend to wine. The Pinot Noir planted vineyards are starting to gain some age to them along with the winemakers learning along the way over recent years.

Here are some that I found to be exciting and delicious. Each wine has its own elegance to it.

2015 Trinity Hill Pinot Noir Hawkes Bay - This wine is terroir specific. Drink this and think New Zealand Pinot Noir. Here we find some soft ripe flavors with hidden tannins and a finish with balance. The retail price of approximately $18 is a value.

 


2014 Craggy Range Aroha Pinot Noir Martinborough - Everything about this wine makes you thing Burgundy. Starting from the color, the perfume and its integration this is a special wine. It also comes with a cork and a special retail price of approximately $90.

 2011 Greywacke Pinot Noir Marlborough - This wine has layers of fruit and spice with a touch of oak notes. The tannins are soft and the finish is elongated by the medium acidity melting away the tannins. The retail price is approximately $40.
