New World Juicy Juice

By Mike Madaio

I'm an old world wine guy. I love the savory notes, the balance, and the food friendliness. I shy away from those prototypical big, oaky, buttery new world wines. All that said, there's something about the juiciness of a well-made new world style wine.

In particular, I'm drawn to Pinot Noir from New Zealand and Oregon, and hey, from the looks of this list, whites from those very same regions.

Lots of barnyard funk on the nose, mixed with some floral and caramel notes. (Caramel barnyard - what more could you ask for?!?) Palate is very juicy, with roses, cherry fruits, good acidity, and smooth tannins.
