Kerr Cellars 2021 Pinot Noir

This wine offers a perfumed, juicy, dark nose of black cherry, cedar, mandarin zest, violets, fresh tobacco, and new leather. The juicy palate has a wonderful weight and balance, with ultra fine tannins, effortless length and flavors of plum, dark cherry, clove, carob, and violet. Drinking beautifully now, this wine is best consumed in the short term. Vineyard Notes: This Pinot Noir comes from the Silver Eagle vineyard in Sonoma, just outside the town of Occidental, and is a blend of the 3 clones, 45% Calera, 42% Pommard, 13% VR. The summer leading up to the 2021 harvest was ideal, with warm days and cool nights, and no intense heat spikes to speak of. The continuing drought and a few weather events during bud break limited yields, but the quality is very high. Small concentrated berries yield intense flavorful wines. Though small in volume the 2021 harvest is mighty in quality.

Kerr Cellars 2021 Curvature Red Wine

This wine exudes beautiful and varied fruit notes – red and black cherry, cassis – with a really juicy character balanced by fresh acidity and complexity – dried culinary herbs, dark chocolate, cedar, cinnamon, pencil shavings, wet stones. The entry is vibrant and silky opening to a round midpalate with nice weight, where darker notes prevail - black cherry, black licorice, hint of tobacco, dark chocolate, culinary bay. The texture is well resolved, with ultra fine tannins, quietly driving the ethereal, very long finish. The 2021 Curvature is lovely and eager to please, fresh and fun, yet has all the layers and nuances of a wine well above this price range. Vineyard Notes: The summer leading up to the 2021 harvest was ideal, with warm days and cool nights, and no intense heat spikes to speak of. The continuing drought and a few weather events during bud break limited yields, but the quality is very high. Small concentrated berries yield intense flavorful wines. Though small in volume the 2021 harvest is mighty in quality.

Kerr Cellars 2019 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Layers of red-toned fruits, blackberry bramble, and forest floor on the nose, with subtle undertones of baking spices. The fruit darkens on the pallet, with intense black cherry laced with cocoa nib, and anise. These more dominant dark notes slowly yield to dried fruit and warming clove notes on the finish. The wine builds brilliantly, developing structure, while maintaining a lively delicacy. The soft plush tannins continue evolving, creating a long pleasing finish. Vineyard Notes: The 2019 vintage was one of the cooler vintages of the last decade. The first half of the growing season was moderate, and therefore somewhat extended. This allowed the vines time to slow their growth heading into veraison and maximize their nutrient uptake and pre-ripening photosynthesis. The second half of the season, in which the grapes ripen and are harvested, was warm, with some heat during the harvest period, leading to wines of incredible silkiness, fresh and pure fruit, elegant texture, and impressive length.

Sciandri Family Vineyards E'li Red Blend NV

Sciandri Family Vineyards is the creation of Ron and Roberta Sciandri, who fell in love with Napa Valley after purchasing and renovating a local motel. Eventually, they purchased 20 acres of land in Coombsville and created a small production brand that solely focuses on honoring winemaking techniques from their Italian Heritage. The elusive E’Li Red Blend was initially created as a last-ditch effort to make use of the various grape varietals that survived the Napa Valley 2017 fires. Each year, Sciandri combines different varietals and different vintages for their limited production E’Li…the types of grapes used are top secret, so no tech sheet here. Taste with a friend and create your own tasting notes and food pairing!

Piolet Vitners 2021 Secret Code Red Blend

Winemaker’s Notes As a marker of the vintage, this release of the “Black Label” is a Red Wine made up of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon of Red Mountain and Horse Heaven Hills and 10% Syrah of Royal Slope. Primary aromas of violets, black cherry, and black plum yield to forest floor, and sandalwood. Bold structure and incredible density on the palate reinforce the purity of fruit and harmonious balance of the vineyard. Plush tannin and flavors of blackberry, mocha, and prune drift for minutes on the finish. Vintage As one of the warmest seasons on record, the 2021 vintage provided optimal growing conditions across Washington. All markers of the growing season were advanced by two to three weeks from historical averages. Some wineries were bringing in fruit mid- August; unheard of in most years. In September and October, the temperatures cooled, allowing for more ideal flavor and phenolic development. Towards the finish line, the weather created an ideal vintage for Cabernet Sauvignon and red varietals, producing wines that were powerful and rich, yet elegant and balanced

Hendry Ranch Winery 2023 Albarino

From the Winery: The grapes are whole-cluster pressed, and the juice from the three blocks is combined in a stainless-steel tank for fermentation. The Albariño is fermented in stainless steel at temperatures ranging from 56º to 59ºF.

When alcoholic fermentation is complete, the wine remains in stainless steel for repeated cold-settling until it is ready for bottling, approximately 4 months. Tasting Notes: Pale straw color. True to form, with floral and fruity aromas, including lime, nectarine and passionfruit. Flavors include nectarine and mango with key lime acidity. Zingy, lively and delicious. Pair this popular wine with a chilled shrimp cocktail with avocado, grilled fish tacos with a squeeze of lime; lemony Caesar salad—any foods that are light in fat but full of flavor.
