Taste: This HCN Blanc is bombastic when first poured. Initially, you’ll experience some crazy tropical fruit notes, like pineapple upside-down cake, mango, and passionfruit. This tones down with time exposure to oxygen and settles into nuanced flavors of intermingled lemon and orange zest, Taylor’s Gold pear, juicy yellow apple, and spiced/nutty notes, including cashew, cinnamon, and cedar. The palate mostly follows the aromas in this wine, but a notable difference is that the palate is much fresher than the nose would initially indicate. This rich, “generous, yet lithe” white wine will continue to open fantastically and is a treat to enjoy slowly, an experience to savor.
Pairing: I recommend going for richer pairing options with this wine. Mochiko or American fried chicken, teriyaki chicken, sweet and sour chicken or pork, fried rice, and
Crab Rangoon is a great pairing idea with sweet chili dipping sauce. Other options include butternut squash ravioli, mushroom ragout as mushroom bourguignon or over polenta, fried chicken wings, and roasted pork with peanut sauce.
