LENZ PICK UP AND TASTING 06 FEB 2022
The Lenz winery winter pick-up is a fantastic pick-up event. A tasting of four wines paired with a small plate’s meal created an outstanding experience. Today’s tasting consisted of two reds, a sparkling rose, and a white. Starting with the 2021 Firefly P é tillant Naturel , Sparkling Ro s é, the Pet Nat is built from Lenz’s delicate red fruit and wild yeast. Bright pink, crisp Acid, fine bubbles with a touch of creaminess, and beautiful floral notes are the hallmark of this wine (Figure 1). Next up is the 2015 Gold Chardonnay . The Chardonnay presents a bright shimmering gold color with slender legs in the glass. The mouthfeel is creamy with well-balanced Acid and well-defined notes of green apple (Figure 2). First, transitioning to the reds is the 2016 Merlot , a fine daily wine (Figure 3). Dark color, medium legs, bursting with red cherry and plum. The tannins are well represented, and the Acid is balanced. Overall, very good as a daily wine, but Lenz’s Old Vines Merlo
