WINE NOTES & BOTTLE PRICES
2017 Borsao Rosé ~ $9
(Spain) 100% Grenache. Winemaker's Notes: Red luminescent color with warm glows. Has a strong aroma of berries and sweets. Very young and fresh in the mouth, well balanced with its acidity, rich in floral nuances and spices.
2017 Daou Chardonnay ~ $17
(Paso Robles) Winemaker's Notes: Floral and fragrant with a beautiful nose offering an abundance of pear and white peach aromas, fresh vanilla bean crème brulee, and star jasmine. Secondary layers reveal pineapple, papaya and crushed filberts, with nutmeg and lemon zest accents. Vibrant and zesty on the palate while maintaining its lush silkiness and voluptuous, mouth-filling texture. Bright tropical fruit flavors of mango, pineapple and kiwi, laced with hazelnut and honeysuckle, as well as subtle hints of banana cream pie. Clean and persistent on the finish, creamy and rich with Asian pear, citrus and vanilla, this delightful wine becomes a truly memorable experience.
2015 Tridente Tempranillo ~ $17
(Spain) Winemaker's Notes: Deep purple to the edge, aromas of toasty oak, graphite, balsamic, incense, and black fruits are followed by a dense, powerful Tempranillo. Rich, powerful and voluminous on the attack, a huge mouthful of crème-de-cassis concentration, silken and juicy in the mid palate with excellent length and persistence.
2016 Rombauer Cabernet Sauvignon ~ $58
(Napa Valley) Winemaker's Notes: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon,8% Petit Verdot + 5% Cabernet Franc. This wine is vibrant dark purple with a fuchsia rim. The nose is expressive, with aromas of red fruit, cassis and toast. The wine is full-bodied, packed with flavors of boysenberry, raspberry and black cherry, along with notes of sweet tobacco, cedar and vanilla. Supple tannins carry through to a lingering finish.
NV Yalumba Antique Tawny (375ml) ~ $19
(Australia) Winemaker's Notes: This outstanding old dessert wine is deep tawny in color, with an aroma featuring dried fruits, caramel and spices with elegant brandy spirit and hints of wood aged rancio. The palate is richly flavored featuring chocolate and caramel with fine spirit characters and persistent aftertaste of dried fruits and nutty nuances. The texture is sweet and smooth with roundness from the wood maturation and brandy spirit filling out the middle palate and providing the firm, drying finish.
