Bill Callahan «Riding for the feeling» 2011

Pale limpid yellow with silver green hues, this white wine issued from a large vineyard of 100 acres, agrees with delightful acoustic guitar, backed by the sparkling notes of the electric keyboard « Wurlitzer ».

The bouquet, concentrate olfactory sensations of fruit (pear, apple), white flesh of citrus (grapefruit, lemon), supported by a delicate minerality (stone gun) offers a sublime contrast with a deep haunting captivating voice of poetic singing playing with grace on the versatile harmony of instruments.

In the mouth, an ample fruity freshness dominates with a finish with hazelnut flavours that we suggest this fulfilling musical escape between country, folk and jazz.

A pure delight as this accessible wine, combining the luminescence in the balance, in accordance with the hypnotic song.

(getting carafe 1 hour recommended to enhance the discrete aromas at the opening of the bottle!)
