Saturday Night Tapas: Food & Wine Pairing
This past Saturday night I went to friend’s house for dinner club and was amazed that 4 of the 6 wines he was pouring that evening were products from [...]
-
Shows notes of macerated black and blue fruit with hints of coffee spice and fine white pepper. Perfect with grilled meats, roasted game, or by itself! - Fruit-focused, with lush flavors of tropical fruit and peaches.
- Pale yellow color. Strong bouquet of citrus, green apple, and passion fruit. Round and zesty mouthfeel with citrus, grapefruit, and green herb flavors. Smooth and elegant on the palate with intense lemon / lime and pear skin flavors. Similar to Pinot Grigio but with more body and more acidity.
- Pale light gold color. Light citrus, orchard fruit, and floral aromas. Elegant mouthfeel. Orange, pear, anise, and slight apple flavors. Long, soft finish with some minerality.
- A lovely North Valley Cabernet Sauvignon blended with Petit Verdot and a little bit of Zinfandel. Bold bright with supple tannins.
- This stainless steel fermented and aged Sauvignon Blanc displays tangerine, pineapple, and slight grapefruit aromas. It has a crisp, tropical entry with a lush mid-palate followed by a crisp apple, citrus finish. This is a patio pleaser!
- The wine features a bright cherry-red color and aromas of kirsch, strawberry, raspberry, and violet. Light-bodied on the tongue, the boisterous fruit-character engages the senses in a playful way. The harmony of red flavors decrescendos into a soft, dry finish. A far cry from some of the dark, brooding, and powerful California Grenaches, this wine celebrates a lighter style and is well-suited for any wine-drinking occasion.
- Classic Clarksburg Chenin Blanc characteristics: vibrant fruit aromas take over the glass with abundant melon and tropical notes and a voluptuous texture that coats the entire mouth. The brilliant, savory acidity excites the senses only to wipe clean, resulting in a lengthy finish leaving the taster begging for another sip.
- This wine with a great personality has been produced entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon variety grapes grown on a limestone-rich terroir blessed with its own microclimate. After a thorough maceration, it undergoes 24 months of aging in new French oak barrels.
- Pago Negralada comes from a Plot of Tempranillo, the noblest Spanish grape variety. The vines are planted in deep gravel soils intermixed with sand at the surface, and produce wines with a distinctive firm, tannic character.
- With aromas of ripe blueberries, pomegranate, and a touch of rose petals, this Estate Merlot has flavors of bright fruit which are complemented by hints of milk chocolate, cinnamon, and a well-structured finish.
- Coming from our Estate vineyards and select Mendocino growers, this Pinot Noir has aromas of dried cherries and Christmas spice which are followed by fruit forward flavors. The elegant finish is highlighted by notes of sweet cranberry.
- Our perennial “pizza/pasta wine” takes an Italian twist with Sangiovese, Barbera, and Primitivo joining the Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. It has a nose of raspberry and honeysuckle, followed by a round mouth feel bursting with fresh cherries and hints of spice. This wine finishes with integrated tannins and good acidity to make it the perfect food match.
- Aromas of cherries and allspice, you are welcomed by red fruit flavors. The mid-palate is round with berry notes dominating; the finish has soft tannins with of hint of vanilla.
- This Estate Chardonnay has aromas of fresh white nectarines and notes of vanilla. Bright fruit flavors are followed by a touch of cream soda. They are complemented a rich, round mouth feel and lingering tropical flavors. The finish is balanced with good acidity and is sure to please!
- Produced from a selection of the best grapes from each of our vineyards, it combines the richness of a Tempranillo and the elegance of a Cabernet Sauvignon with the roundness of a Syrah and a Merlot.
- A profound crimson color with orange rims. Accompanied by notes of animal fur on the nose and petrol, along with sweet dried candies and fruit. Accompanied by a lovely dry mouthfeel.
- This wine offers up an exceptionally fragrant and complex bouquet of wood smoke, pencil lead, exotic spices, incense, lavender, and blackberry. On the palate it displays impressive volume, a smooth texture, layered flavors, and a lengthy, seamless finish. This impressive effort will continue to blossom for several more years and provide much pleasure.
- An indicative blend of Tempranillo and Mazuelo, full of strawberry, cherry and prune flavors with notes of chocolate and leather. Followed by soft supple tannis.
- The aromatics on the Pintia are very intense with lifted wild strawberry, raspberry, mulberry fruit interlaced by dried herbs and just a mention of cigar box. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins that are in synch with the tobacco-tinged red fruit. This has very good structure and symmetry, while the finish displays fine tension and a long, spicy aftertaste.
- This wine is composed of 90% Hondarrabi Zuri and 10% Hondarabbi Beltza. The grapes are unique to the the Bask region and are not grown anywhere else in the world. Zundukarai is lovely, crisp and acidic and light in body . Historical in the Basque region fishermen found that many traditional wines could not survive the long time required for a voyage at sea. Txakoli became the wine of choice because its high acidity gave it a much longer shelf life .
