About 2 months ago Nicole and I received this wine as a gift from someone and we had been waiting for a good time to open it. Over this last weekend her family came up for the weekend and on Thursday night Nicole was busy making a cheesecake. It was a toss up between the Single Berry Select and the late harvest Roussanne and Patterson Cellars won the coin toss. After I cracked her open I could tell there was some good juice in there. The first thing Nicole said was "wow" and I tended to agree with her as did everyone else in the room. On the nose it was like sniffing pears that were not quite ripe yet with some light floral notes. On the palate the pear was there again but this time was ripe and ready to play. Solid structure with great balance and acidity. There was even a little hint of frizzante lingering around. Overall this is a great wine and I'll be bringing this into the shop fo sho! The pair up with homemade cheesecake matched very well and I might even drizzle a little of some ice cream someday. Solid!
