Ramazzotti Regale Reserve is a Bordeaux-style Cabernet / Merlot based blend that really delivers. A rather complex wine with rich Cabernet flavors and fully integrated tannins. There’s just enough Cabernet Franc (14.5%) to add a kick of spice and pepper, which we found intriguing.
Looking for a great every day Chardonnay? Parducci Chardonnay is the answer. A great price for a very nice wine. Well balanced fruit and acidity, this medium-bodied wine shows flavors of apple, honeydew and a hint of tropical fruit. It paired very well with dry-rubbed grilled chicken breast
Another very good wine from the Sequana line of single vineyard Pinot Noirs. Full bodied flavors of dark cherry, cola, light spice, black pepper and plum are married with nice tannins and a hint of oak.
A big-boy Pinot with rich fruit and well-structured tannins made by Pinot Noir specialist James MacPhail . A beautifully complex wine with flavors of dark cherry, plum, raspberries that finish with a touch of oaky caramel. Give this wine your full attention and you’ll be well rewarded.
An excellent value Chardonnay that should cost more. Patianna’s certified organic estate vineyards produce a rich wine with a ton of flavor and acidity. Sur lie ageing and a bit of oak create a round lush mouth-feel without adding a stick of butter. Crisp flavors of apple, pear, peach, tropical fruit and vanilla.
