This weekend's wine is Cinnabar Mercury Rising Blanc 2005 (Paso Robles, CA), a delightful, fruity (but dry, of course) blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, and Semillon. We picked this up at our local shop and are thoroughly pleased with what our $20 bought.
The color is gorgeous--a pale, delicate straw. Aromas of grapefruit and kiwi. Kath thought this wine tasted very close to her favorite New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc but with some unusual undertones, like honeysuckle (yes, really...). Daryl couldn't pick out individual flavors but liked the brightness and noted that the acidity is very low. It went well with our lumpia and fried rice.
Cheers!
