Wine Features

Torrontés

Winemaker’s Selection, Andeluna – 2007

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.

Cabernet - Pinotage

Sebeka, 2007

Western Cape, South Africa

This delicious Cabernet Pinotage blend from South Africa is a fruit forward wine with notes of blackberry and herbs accompanied by black earth, smoke and acidic undertones. This dark red wine is medium bodied with grippy tannins. A great pairing with beef or poultry dishes.

Riesling

Indian Wells, Chateau St. Michelle

Columbia Valley, Washington, 2006

This is a ripe, tropical style of Riesling, which comes

from the warm Wahluke Slope region of eastern Washington.

The 2006 Indian Wells Riesling exhibits fruit-driven aromas

of juicy pineapple and mango. The wine is rich and unctuous,

while maintaining a fresh, elegant style

that is typical of Washington state Riesling.

Chateau St. Michelle Website

Tempranillo

Bloodstone, Gemtree Winery, 2003

McLaren Vale, Australia

Only 350 cases produced.

The 2003 Tempranillo yielded less than 1 ton of fruit per acre. Harvesting took place early in March (this is fall – down under) as the balance of tannin, acid, and flavor came on quickly due to the dry winter and hot summer. The 2003 Bloodstone has abundant fruit character yet a tannin structure that aged the fruit gracefully.

$7.50 / glass

$30.00 / bottle

Shiraz

Hunt, 2003

South Austalia, 2003

A nice and simple Aussie shiraz. Still maintaining its freshness and crisp acidity. Starting to evolve a nose with some old-world funk, barnyard, and smoke.

Great pairing with duck, beef filet, or pork loin.

Zinfandel

Appellation Series: North Coast

Rosenblum Winery

California, 2005

This wine has been crafted by blending the fruit from four premium vineyards all located in Sonoma and Mendocino counties. Featuring a mix of old vines and meticulously cared for vineyards, this appellation produces exotic, jammy, fruit-driven Zinfandels.

This is a very dark, rich and fruit-driven wine that reflects the structure and character of the cool climate vineyards used to craft this distinctive North Coast blend. The wine shows flavors of blackberry, currant, ripe raspberry spice and elements of vanilla and mint.

$8.00 / glass

$32.00 / bottle


Pinot Blanc

Valley of the Moon, 2006

Sonoma, California

Pinot Blanc is a classic summertime wine. California versions of this varietal often have more heft and ripeness than their European counterparts, and the Valley of the Moon is a prime example. Loads of pear and mango fruit complemented by lemongrass and citrus crispness on the back end .

Pinotage

Neil Ellis, 2006

Stellenbosch, South Africa

Pinotage is a grape variety that was created in South Africa in 1925 by Abraham Izak Perold, the first Professor of Viticulture at Stellenbosch University. Perold was attempting to combine the best qualities of the robust Cinsault with Pinot Noir, a grape that makes great wine but can be difficult to grow. Cinsaut is known as Hermitage in South Africa, hence the portmanteau name of Pinotage.

This particular red is obviously well-crafted, an easy-to-like new friend if you haven't yet played with Cape vino. It's medium-bodied and velvety smooth, with pure red raspberry and cherry fruit. A kiss of pepper spice and vanillin oak bring it close to a modern Rhône in style. No need to struggle with food affinities: its moderate weight and dryness make it an elegant all-purpose red.

$8.00 / glass

$32.00 / bottle

Merlot

Red Diamond, 2004

Columbia Valley, Washington

Blend: 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc

The 2004 season started hot and dry, which contributed to early ripening. Cool temperatures and intermittent light rain slowed ripening and allowed the grapes to enjoy extra hang time by mid-September. Warm temperatures and dry weather resumed in early fall through harvest’s end. Overall the 2004 harvest is characterized by small berry size and concentrated, quality fruit.

Our staff unanimously agrees: You will not find a better tasting, finer quality American “bargain” wine. Aromas of cherries and cola with hints of spice box introduce this Merlot. The silky palate displays flavors of red cherry, juicy berries and a touch of caramel and mocha.

Merlot for people who don’t drink Merlot.
