MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
Ten Knots 2006 Beachcomber White Wine, Paso Robles
Warm summer tropical trade winds brush against Risqué’s face with the rising humidity just adding to his thirst for something, cool, exotic and refreshing! His white sails were neatly trimmed for a smooth adventure into the evening with gorgeous lushes and a delicious view of the sun sinking into the Pacific. Risqué’s desires were met with complete satisfaction at 10 knots with this 47% Viognier, 46% Rousanne and 7% Marsanne Rhone style white from Paso Robles.
The sun danced across the golden citrine color which yielded pure sunshine through the Meyer lemon custard nose parsed with sweet toasted coconut. Again this viscous liquid is pure buttered tropical sun in the mouth with a huge impression of sweetness and more Meyer Lemon, toasted coconut, dried apricots and ripe juicy orange papaya… all with a perfectly clean, lightly acidic and soft, dry finish.
Risqué is always more about the journey than the destination and this white blend certainly helped to billow his sails and take him to his desired destination… ahhhh… get the message and enjoy this pure tropical bliss….
