Wines
2017, Trefethen, Chardonnay, Oak Knoll District, Napa
A beautiful gold color illuminates the glass and aromas of lemon, honeysuckle, and pear greet the nose. The fresh palate features more citrus flavors, as well as green apple, and a clean finish. The oak influence in this wine is subtle but important, adding a note of vanilla on the nose and a pleasant roundness on the palate. Another classic vintage of Trefethen Chardonnay!
- Glass $15.00
- Bottle $60.00
2015, Beaulieu Vineyards, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa
Deep and intense, Beaulieu Vineyard's 2015 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon reveals the superb concentration of the vintage. Opulent layers of blackberry, black cherry and juicy plum character unfold with complex nuances of violet and mocha. Ample, mature tannins provide firm structure and rich texture for the mouthfilling flavors. Nicely integrated hints of allspice, cinnamon, and caramel from toasted oak barrels lace the aromas and lingering finish. This big, generous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is approachable and delicious now, yet promises cellar worthiness. Blend: 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Petit Sirah, 2% Merlot
