Thanksgiving Holiday

While my mother (and brother) visited for the Thanksgiving holiday, we enjoyed two wines:

-- Goose Watch Pinot Noir Brut Rose
-- Broadbent Vinho Verde

I already formally reviewed the Broadbent wine; however, I will not be reviewing the Goose Watch champagne at this time. I thoroughly enjoyed both and anticipate purchasing both bottles again in the future.

Broadbent - Vinho Verde (NV)

Tasted on: October 23, 2009
Purchased for: $7.99


Wine Data:
  • Alcohol Content: 9%
  • Residual Sugar: Unknown, but likely below 2.5%
Wine Awards and Ratings:
  • 86 points - Wine Spectator
Tasting:

Appearance: Very clear. slight green tint.

Aroma: Very aromatic with citrus notes. Simple, yet delightful bouquet.

Taste / Texture: The slight carbonation gives it a tingly mouth feel. The blood orange note is clear. The wine has a medium body. The flavors work harmonious towards a generously flavorful taste.

Aftertaste: Lasting, somewhat coating, and quite pleasant on the tongue.

Decision: Excellent, excellent wine. It would pair great with a salad or white meat summer dish. Also a great wine to drink by itself. As a fan of champagne, I love bubbles and their tingling taste on the tongue. Definitely a keeper. 90/100
