Wine Notes:
Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley
-
The aroma jumps out of the glass with flowers, herbs, and fruit such as oregano, fig, grapefruit and apricot. The pallet is so amazingly fresh, clean, and crisp with flavors of honeydew melon, grapefruit, thyme, and fig. There is a great combination of vibrant acidity and lift with a nice touch of richness that you can’t get from sauvignon blanc aged in stainless steel exclusively. The small addition of co-fermented Semillon adds some depth, density, and oiliness to the wine. This sauvignon blanc provides a vibrant dance on the palate and has a lingering fresh finish with flavors of fig and oregano.
Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast
-
This wine has a brilliant light straw color and enticing aromas of raw hazelnuts, wild sage, and pear. The flavors are bright and lively with an impressive range of pear, oregano, nuts, and a delightful hint of French oak. These elements come together to create a complex, inviting, and seductive wine with a long and satisfying finish.
Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
-
The wine has a vibrant medium-light Burgundy color with effusive aromas of sweet red and black fruits (raspberry and blackberry), rosemary, and orange blossom. The flavors are both lithe and brooding at the same time with the same raspberries and blackberries from the aroma along with a beautiful richness of sauteed mushrooms, wild sage, and soy sauce. The wine is medium-bodied, full of rich pinot noir flavor with an exotically long finish.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
-
A deep magenta color leads to an enveloping aroma of cedar, shaved graphite, black plum, and dried thyme. The flavor and structure is all Napa Valley! The wine is medium-full bodied with a beautiful rich, supple texture and flavors of dark fruit, exotic spices (nutmeg & cinnamon), tobacco, coffee, and dark chocolate. There is a nice brightness from the acidity, a subtle kiss of tannin, and nice ripe fruit to make this a complete Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon.
