The Noble Grapes: Part 2

Now we will cover the three white noble grapes. There are arguments saying there are more than three white noble grapes today, but I want to stick with the original three: Riesling, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc.

Willamette Valley Riesling (2010) $14: This wine comes from Oregon, and has a wonderful apple sauce bouquet. It is semi-acidic, and slightly sweet, with tastes of apple and pear. It has a touch of spice, and is a well balanced wine. (http://store.wvv.com/2010-willamette-valley-vineyards-riesling-p76.aspx).

Morning Fog Chardonnay (2010) $12.99:  This wine comes from Wente Vineyards in California, just east of San Fransisco. It has great tropical fruit and spice flavors. It is bitey up front, but has a smooth, buttery finish. A very nice, but typical Chardonnay.

Murphy Goode Sauvignon Blanc (2010) $14: This wine comes from Northern California, and has a floral bouquet to it. It tastes of tangy grapefruit up front, but has a smooth, creamy, and orange finish. This is a very nice, full bodied wine. (http://www.murphygoodewinery.com/wines/index.html).
