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.
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.
The very light style Pinot from Anam Cara Cellars offers up soft flavors of cherry, blueberry, raspberry and light spice. An easy drinker with soft tannins and understated oaky influences, the result of aging in predominately older barrels.
A beautiful big-boy Pinot from Freeman Vineyards. Rich character, good structure with a full and round mouth-feel. Flavors abound with cherry, black raspberry, dark berries, rhubarb and a hint of cola. Be patient, this baby need time to open to its full potential. Decant for at least 30 minutes
