If you know Howie, you know he is generous to a fault. Once again, I left MoCool with more wines than I came with, thanks to Mr. Hart. Opened the night before, I thoroughly enjoyed this as much without food as I did tonight. After a long day of packing , lifting and unpacking, dinner was best served by the local Chinese restaurant. My Kung Pao chicken was the perfect foil to this wine, which provided an instant upgrade to the meal.
Hart Cellar 2012 Semi-Dry Vidal: White flowers, ginger and a hint of lemon on the nose. Nice light-med. weight gives it a pleasurable mouthfeel. The hint of spice continues on the palate with a nice lemon zest acidity down the sides of the tongue and a drop of honey to finish it off. 1.5% RS works perfectly with the acidity to make this as much a nice patio sipper as an excellent food wine. 11.5% abv fits right in my wheelhouse for easy drinkin' whites.
Kudos Howie!! You did it again!
Thank you!
