Spring Wine Club Selection

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Wine club members:  your selections are ready for pick up (or en route if shipped).  Stop by for the 2007 Zinfandel, Santa Clara Valley and the 2006 Merlot, Estate.

Zinfandel, Santa Clara Valley 2007

 

Full aromas of berries with earthy notes of mushroom and tobacco.  The palate opens with red berries followed by a well-structured mid-palate of raspberry and plum.  A long, well balanced finish of black pepper and toasty oak.  Pairs well with pepper crusted seared Ahi Tuna, pulled pork or grilled burgers.

 

 

Merlot, Estate 2006

 

Very dark reddish-violet with a garnet edge.  Bold aromas of juicy black cherry are framed with a bouquet of maple and toasted oak. Fruit-forward flavors follow the aroma, full and rich with a mild acidity adding structure.  The wine has a soft, lingering toasted oak finish.  Serving suggestions: beef tenderloin with rosemary, BBQ country style pork ribs, full flavored cheeses.
