Players Cellars Chardonnay – Central Coast, CA (Silky) - An excellent expression of the Chardonnay fruit from one of the premier California growing regions. Inviting flavors with cool acidity leading to a lingering finish. Terrific for cheeses, chicken or fish.
Players Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon – Paso Robles, CA (Bold) - Warm black cherry and cassis with soft tannins that provide a rich satisfying mouthfeel. Chalky limestone vineyard soils help develop a richness and density in the wine. A great companion to a meal or to be enjoyed on its own.
Sacred Stone Red Blend – Cienega Valley, CA (Bold) - Ripe and juicy, this blend features cherry and plum flavors with hints of earth and spice. Soft and supple with attractive forward fruit and crisp acidity, interesting spice and mineral notes. An ideal match for a wide-range of grilled or roasted foods.
Pietra Santa Sangiovese – Mendoza, Argentina (Mellow) - Rich, warm ruby color and very aromatic with strong aromas and flavors of ripe cherry, clove and white pepper. Full body with a chewy texture and not overly sweet, with a dry finish. The depth and complexity of this wine makes it an excellent companion to great Italian cuisine.
Soda Rock Cabernet Sauvignon – Alexander Valley, CA (Bold) - Enticing aromas of sweet cherry, ripe red plum, dried herbs and roasted coffee. On the palate this wine offers up luscious wild berry flavors, hints of vanilla oak and soft, silky tannins. A second label to Stuhlmuller Vineyards, Soda Rock is blended around a core of fruit from Stuhlmuller’s estate property in the Alexander Valley.
