This is an easygoing but tasty Sauvignon Blanc. It has ripe, forward flavors of orange, mango, vanilla, honey and buttered toast, along with just enough acidity for balance.
Bright medium dusty ruby color. Bright, fruity, toasty sweaty aromas of mulberries, saddle leather, purple pez, and light toast with a bright, dry full body and a warming, nuanced, medium-long finish with firm, well-integrated, fine, fruit tannins and light oak.
Pale bright gold color. Bright, creamy, fruity aromas of lemon custard, caramel apples, and mango pastry with a oily, tangy, dry-yet-fruity medium-full body and a warming, complex, medium-length spiced pineapple, lemon sorbet, and praline finish with firm tannins and moderate oak. A superbly vibrant and complex chardonnay that is sure to please.
Sonoma Cabernet characteristics of cassis, green olive and hints of chocolate. French Oak aging contributes vanilla, clove and hazelnut aromas which create a unique foil for the robust blackberry and raspberry fruit flavors leading to a round, flavorful finish. Pair with aged and semi-hard cheeses, or try lamb with a dry rub of rosemary, shallots and fruity olive oil.
Tasting Notes This Pinot Noir has rich aromas of raspberry jam and brandy- macerated cherries. Its luxurious density and beautiful structure are hallmarks of the 2013 vintage. Round flavors and balanced tannins finsh with nuances of vanilla and star anise. Classic pairings like pan-seared duck breast with a cherry reduction work very well, along with many meaty or smoky dishes. Even baked fish topped with herbs and Provencal-inspired tomato and garlic sauce.
