-
-
"With dark ruby color, this blend has aromas of blueberry cobbler, muddled basil, red raspberry, and cherry cola. In the mouth, there are flavors of black raspberry compote, cherries jubilee, tart plum, cedar, and a hint of red apple. The finish shows French oak notes of caramel and vanilla as well as blackberry and watermelon rind." <b>Winery notes</b>
- Martin Ray Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma County 2010 Product #26920 (In Stock)
-
-
Another solid, satisfying, bottle of California Cabernet that would cost $10 more if it was from Napa! Rich, ripe, and packed with sweet blackberry, blueberry, and currant fruit accented by a dusty cocoa powder note. Perfectly balanced between richness, acid, and fine, dusty, tannin, this is ready to enjoy now with a steak or even just on its own.
- Siduri Pinot Noir Sonoma County 2011 Product #27074 (In Stock)
-
-
Texas transplants, Adam and Dianna Lee, continue to make rock solid Pinot Noir. Their 2011 Sonoma County Pinot is no exception, with aromas of soft spiced cherry. Delicious, luch flavors of red plum, raspberry and strawberry fill the palate with toasty notes of nutmeg on the finish. A fine value for Cali Pinot. Easily drinks well above its price point. Pairs with seared tuna and salmon dishes.
- Seghesio Zinfandel Sonoma 2011 Product #26858 (In Stock)
-
-
Seghesio has been turning out bold Sonoma Zinfandel for close to 100 years, and it's not surprising that they've established themselves as one of the true benchmark producers for this classic American varietal. The "entry level" Sonoma Zin is always big, bold, and spicy without becoming jammy or hot. A four-time member of Wine Spectator's Top 100 list, most recently coming in at #10 in 2007!
"An excellent wine from a challenging vintage, with black cherry and spice aromas opening to rich wild berry, mineral and toasty sage flavors that wrap around a concentrated core of acidity and tannins."Wine Spectator 92 points
- Matanzas Creek Merlot 2007 Product #26188 (In Stock)
-
-
This Bennett Valley Merlot is made from Merlot clone 181 - the "Petrus" clone of Merlot - plus about 15% Cabernet Sauvignon from Knights Valley. Classic Merlot aromas of red currant and fresh herbs - thyme, sage, - plus a dusting of clove leading to bright and juicy flavors of black currant, blueberry, licorice and spice. Loads of juicy acidity for a California Merlot make this a perfect, palate cleansing, match for richer meat dishes.
- Shane Syrah "jemrose" Syrah 2009 Product #27067 (In Stock)
-
-
Rich, spicy, but fresh, too!
"Glass-staining ruby. Liqueur-like mulberry and smoky Indian spices on the expressive nose. Fresh, sweet and lively, with harmonious acidity giving shape and lift to the floral black and blue fruitl flavors. Finishes spicy, with a fine dusting of silky tannins. Distinctly energetic syrah with considerable immediate appeal but the spine to age." International Wine Cellar 93 points
- Weese Family Winery Rockpile Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 Product #27247 (In Stock)
-
-
From the famous Rockpile Vineyard in Sonoma, this is everything you'd expect in a $100 California Cabernet - but about half the price! The Weese brothers grow this blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot in two plots on Rockpile, ferment it warm, and then age it for 24 months in half-new, half-used, oak. Dead young now, but already delivering classic aromas of cassis, cedar, tobacco and cocoa powder. In the mouth, ripe and big, but with a very attractive elegant restraint, pumping out blackcurrant, black cherry, tobacco and cassis flavors through the midpalate and then finishing with firm, chewy, tannins and a hint of fresh leather. Just 400 cases produced of this beauty that you can enjoy tonight with grilled steak or lamb or let mellow in cellar for 10+ years. Outstanding value for the quality.
- Kistler Chardonnay Sonoma Mountain 2011 Product #26997 (In Stock)
-
-
Another fine release from one of California's best Chardonnay and Pinot estates. From the winery: "Produced since 1986. Just shy of 1800 feet in elevation, in a small bowl on the western edge of the Mayacama mountains lies the original Kistler planting. Thirty year old vines grow dry farmed in deep red volcanic ash, producing a wine with an intense sense of the mountain heritage of the delicate stone fruit that is lifted, like its McCrea cousin, yet firmer, and with a stronger core and added layers of richness."
