The tasting of this wine happened during the Father’s Day 2005 BBQ at my parent’s house. My sister-in-law, seeing a piece of paper in my hand, asked “are you reviewing this one” … I answered “yes” … “That should be fun,” she exclaimed, plopping herself down on the couch beside me. The first word she uttered was “pleasant”, but this wine was more than just ‘pleasant’, it had a complexity to its nose that caused some debate around the living room; but held little to no controversy on the palate. The debate was about the lemon vs. lime distinction on the nose, also, was the tropical fruit mango or papaya? And there were some floral scents causing some havoc too. In the end, we decided more lemon than lime, more papaya than mango; and definitely a sweet floral smell was present … maybe rose petals (but none of us has the horticultural background to be definitive). The palate caused no disagreement at all. Adjectives like pleasant, delicious and tasty were thrown out around the room, almost in unison … then again so were comments like “refreshing” and “surprisingly not too sweet.” My sister-in-law summed it up best when she said “there was no surprise in the mouth – it tastes like it smells.” “I couldn’t have agreed more,” I said, as I leaned over to show her my notes with the exact same phrase written down. “I like this wine” she concluded – and yet again, I agreed. For the record ‘Twisted’ refers to the blend – a “pleasant” melee of Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Chardonnay … enjoy!
