A beautiful dry Rosé of 75% Syrah and 25% Grenache. Flavors of strawberry, raspberry, bright cherry and spice with a hint of rhubarb. We paired with grilled salmon and strawberry laced salad for a delicious meal . Can’t wait to sip and share on the patio during a warm summer afternoon.
Clean, crisp without a hint of oak. Winemaker Cindy Cosco’s Passaggio Chardonnay is pure chard with lean flavors of Meyer lemon, pineapple, minerality and citrus. The zippy acid component makes it great foodie wine. Pair with white sauces and seafood. We paired it with herb roasted chicken… yummy!
Third generation winemakers Ben and Jake Fetzer’s inaugural effort under the Masut Vineyard label is a winner! Long on finesse and bright fruit with flavors of black cherry, blueberry, ripe cranberry, spice with hints of oaky vanilla. All estate fruit from a 23-acre vineyard, only 800 cases. Ranked #50 on Wine Enthusiast’s Top 100 list for 2011.
Blanchard Family Wines Chardonnay from Russian River fruit opens with flavors of ripe apple, pear, vanilla and creme. Balanced fruit and acidity with those subtle buttery notes we enjoy. A rich texture and round mouth-feel with a soft finish of butterscotch and caramel. Check out this small artisan Sonoma producer.
Let’s start with mouth-wateringly delicious. Anderson Valley fruit, this offering from MacPhail Family Wines is slightly lighter-bodied than some others but still rich with flavors of cherry, plum, rhubarb, and cola. A touch of spice and acidity added to the supple tannin structure combine to produce an excellent food pairing Pinot Noir. Read: Interview with James MacPhail
