WINE NOTES & BOTTLE PRICES
2017 Tangent Rose (375ml Cans) ~ $7 per can or 6-pk of cans for $40
(Edna Valley) Winemaker's Notes: Tangent is constantly innovating and thinking outside the box. The Rosé represents a modern avant-garde approach to a new progressive category of New World Rosés. They turned the Rosé recipe upside down and utilized our unique and rare cool climate Albariño, Viognier, Pinot Noir, and Syrah. The Pinot Noir brings a salmon nuance while the hints of Syrah and Grenache add a cherry hue to the Rose. Albariño delivers rose petal, banana, apple and pear, while the Viognier contributes floral and subtle notes of tropical fruits.
2017 Paul Hobbs "Crossbarn" Chardonnay ~ $23
(Sonoma Coast) Winemaker's Notes: Glistening straw yellow with a faint green hue and fragrant aromas of white flower, Asian pear, and wet stone underpin the wine’s expression of its true Sonoma Coast roots. Alluring stone fruit flavors carry the palate along with hints of citrus and honeysuckle that evolve into a creamy mid-palate before ending in a long, clean finish with crisp acidity.
2017 Venge "Scout's Honor" Proprietary Red ~ $32
2016 Notes: (Napa Valley) Winemaker's Notes: 68% Zinfandel, 16% Charbono, 10% Petite Sirah + 6% Syrah. This vintage has a sumptuous concentration on the nose of sweet black fruit, crushed blue herbs, anise, black truffle, and vanillin. The palate is rich with sweet blueberry and raspberry fruit, dried cherries, black currants, and pepper spices. Fleshy and succulent with an enveloping masculinity of char and tannins from the Syrah, Charbono and Petite Sirah. A seamless balance and mouth coating delicious-ness are found throughout with an extra long finish that is quite pleasing to the senses. Cellared correctly it will age for 5 to 10 years.
2017 Paul Hobbs "Felino" Malbec ~ $18
(Argentina) Winemaker's Notes: Violet red with black tones. An attractive nose with aromas of fresh black fruits and prunes. The palate displays good concentration and balance, with sweet yet supple tannins.
Diplomatico "Reserva Exclusiva" Venezuelan Rum
(Venezuela) An elegant and complex sipping rum carefully crafted from the purest of sugar cane honeys. It is delicately distilled in ancient copper pot stills and aged in small oak casks for up to twelve years. Marrying a unique body with excellent balance has made it a reference for rum lovers and connoisseurs throughout the world. Amber in color, with a complex nose and flavors of maple syrup, orange peel, brown sugar, licorice, and sweet toffee fudge. Seductive and elegant.
