A big Tempranillo from Argentina. Rich flavors of blackberries, black fruit, plums, leaf tobacco and spice. Plenty of tannin structure creates complex flavors. Best when decanted for 30-60 minutes.
This very rich and well-structured Zinfandel from V. Sattui has a nose of blueberry, spice and leather. The full mouth-feel creates flavors of dark cherry, blackberry, blueberry, spice box, pepper and a hint of smoke. Tannins are present adding complexity, yet very well integrated. From a 25-acre vineyard atop Howell Mountain known for big well-structured wines.
A magnificent dry Riesling from the land of Cabernet. This estate grown wine by Smith-Madrone offers up flavors of stone fruit, green apple, and citrus with an underpinning of minerality. Fresh acidity adds to the complexity.
An expressive nose of pineapple cream pie is followed by a rich and round mouth-feel full of butterscotch, peach, vanilla crème brûlée, Meyer lemon and ripe pineapple with hints of lighter spice. A bit of zippy acidity add to the experience to create a Chardonnay that stand beautifully on its own yet will pair well with lighter fare.
Loved this intense blend of Cabernet, Syrah, Sangiovese, and Zinfandel from Blanchard Family Wines. Rich juicy black fruit flavors of cherry, blackberry, plum, cocoa, vanilla with dark spice and a hint of tobacco box. The wine opens quickly with well integrated and soft tannins. A portion of the proceeds from this wine will be donated to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.
