20 FORGET ME NOT

Bubbles are what initially brought the founders of DeLille together in the late 1980s before the winery was formally founded.  Happily, they have made a return!  The 2020 Forget-Me-Not’s firm acid and linear style make it a perfect aperitif with our Pacific Northwest summer fare, with pleasant notes of Asian pear, honeysuckle, green apple and crushed stone.  The effervescence hits the palate broadly and becomes more delicate over time in the glass, with a pronounced minerality and hints of citrus rind that dance on the palate.  This can absolutely be enjoyed now, but I imagine 3-5 years of cellaring to be the sweet spot. -NB
