2018 Albarino
Peachy, lemon/citrus, green apple and floral nose. Mouthwatering, with green apple and lemon zest on the palate and plenty of lemon-lime acidity in the finish.
2018 Unoaked Chardonnay
Aromas of crisp lemon cookies and nectarine. On the palate, light-bodied, layered, and soft-edged. Flavors include lime, baked golden and green apple, nectarine skin. Sweet fruit, pith and bright acid on the finish. Always best lightly chilled, and paired with light and lower-fat foods. And of course, always lovely by itself as an aperitif, paired with a sunset or a sunny afternoon.
2016 Barrel Fermented Chardonnay
Green/golden apple and spice aromatics. Soft, medium-weight palate, with layered flavors of tangy fruit, and spicy oak and apple peel on the finish. Our favorite pairings for this wine are salmon, Manchego cheese, white pizzas, especially with shrimp, crab cakes, chicken, turkey, and all the trimmings. This wine’s food pairing versatility and non-malolactic, acidic brightness make friends for it on both sides of the Chardonnay divide.
2017 Pinot Noir
Ruby-garnet, translucent. Initial aromas are savory, cherry and baking spice. A few minutes in the glass reveals perfumed rose, honey and butterscotch. Low to moderate tannins, moderate acid.
On the palate, the wine also benefits from a few minutes of air, with tangy cherry, cranberry, cola, leather and spice flavors, balanced acid, flavor and tannin. Pair with medium-intensity dishes with earthy, savory aromas and flavors, especially soy, mushrooms and/or herbs: risotto with mushrooms and pork tenderloin, duck breast with a pan reduction, Asian crispy duck pancakes, a cheese board with Brie and charcuterie.
2016 Blocks 7&22 Zinfandel
Initial aromas of tangy cherry and berry, spice and black tea. Elements of fruit, tannin and acid in balance on the lively palate. Bittersweet cocoa, baking cherries, blackberry jam, straw and spice among the flavors and aromas as the wine opens.
Pairing thoughts: seared red meat; a tender, grilled lamb chop; dry-rubbed barbecue of any kind (without too much sweet or heat); dark meat chicken cooked in red wine with mushrooms and herbs; pasta with a savory, meaty, reduced sauce. Balanced, firmly structured and versatile.
2015 Cabernet Sauvignon
Initial aromas of cocoa, butterscotch, dark berry and evergreen. With air, aromas soften and deepen, and more fruit and spice emerges. Decanting highly recommended. Mouthfeel is full, tannins fine-textured, but firm, giving the wine a softly chalky texture that will marry happily with steaks seasoned with rosemary and porcini, rack of lamb, or a savory, rib-sticking, polenta and short ribs.
