Torrontés

Winemaker’s Selection – 2007

Andeluna, Mendoza, Argentina

A nose that exhibits gorgeous aromatics of dried flowers, spice, and lychee fruit. On the palate, it has a beautiful structure and acidity. A great pairing with seafood and spicy Thai cuisine.

Torrontés is the characteristic white wine grape of Argentina. The varietal is related to the Malvasia group of grapes which originated in the Eastern Mediterranean and found their way to Atlantic islands such as Madeira. It is not known how the grape arrived in Argentina, but it seems to have been there a long time, suggesting that it was brought by Spanish colonists, quite possibly missionaries.

Syrah

School House - 2004

Adeleida, Paso Robles, CA

Adelaida’s primary label Syrah in 2004 came from three steep and low yielding vineyards within 10- 15 miles of the cool Pacific current. Picked as ripeness levels were peaking, the fruit underwent fermentation in open top bins using only native yeasts.

This fleshy Syrah offers deep black fruitiness and savory, gamey character. Redolent of ripe plums and roasting meat intermixed with elements of hand-rubbed English leather, the rich, mouth-filling mid palate rewards with luscious fruit concentration and a long penetrating baking spice finish.

Tobin James’ take on the classic Mediterranean table
wine. Sangiovese, Syrah, and Barbera grapes sourced from
Paso Robles vineyards are blended to create Chateau Le Cacheflow.
A nose of bright cranberry and earthy minerality is a preview to a

Grenache / Syrah
Almira, Campo de Borja, Spain
2006

From slopes on the edge of the Sierra Iberica, just south of Navarra where Garnacha is king, this special cuvée blends 7% Syrah with rich Grenache produced from vines of 35 to 50 years of age. The resultant wine exhibits an elegance rarely encountered in the wines from Campo de Borja. Fermentation is classical, with no carbonic maceration, and aging is wholly in stainless steel. The wine is immediately aromatic, full and friendly on the palate and finishes with a refined length.

$4.25 / glass
$17 / bottle



Cabernet Sauvignon
Robert Mondavi, Napa Valley
2005

This wine has deep, expressive aromas and flavors of berry and black currant with nuances of mocha, violets, and spice. The fruit envelops an elegant structure with firm, velvety tannins and excellent length. The wine's personality comes from the soils and climates of vineyards located in the geographic center of Napa Valley. The wine was aged in French oak château barrels and bottled without filtration to capture the full flavor profile.
