2015 Roederer L’Ermitage Anderson Valley Brut Sparkling Wine
Fine tiny bubbles and a long lasting mousse are the usual footprints of the L’Ermitage cuvée. Aromas of hazelnut and roasted pecans opening to some clove spiciness. Vibrant acidity, with notes of Asian pear, baked green apple. Creamy mid palate and clean acid with a dry finish.
2014 Perrier Jouët Belle Epoque Brut Champagne
A pale gold, clear and luminous, like the rising sun. Delicate aromas of fruit – vine peach and poached pear – and linden and hawthorn blossom. Notes of juicy vine peach lend a fine texture, complemented by poached pear and tangy rhubarb. A combination of freshness, balance and tension. A rare and harmonious champagne.
Henriet-Bazin Grand Cru Rosé Champagne
Made from 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir, all from Verzy and Verzenay, both Grand Cru villages. The champagne spends 3 years en tirage before being disgorged. Dosage is 8 grams per liter (brut).Aromas include cherry, blackcurrant, toasted bread and raspberry. Further aeration offers licorice, black pepper, and clove. On the palate, some underlying citrus and chalk notes surface above its creamy texture.
2021 Occidental Freestone-Occidental Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
Crystalline, bright, mouthwatering, and a bit salty with a saline mineral finish, the 2021 Freestone-Occidental evokes juicy red berries and a near perfect balance of finesse and energy – of bright, primary red fruits and saline elements. It conveys outstanding precision and lift in the mouth and finishes vibrant and long with beautifully sculpted tannins. Its modest alcohol (13.3%) makes this wine a perfect complement to any meal.
2021 Belle Glos Clark & Telephone Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir
Deep purple garnet in color with lavish aromas of warm blackberry pie, raspberry, licorice, and white pepper. Bold and sophisticated on the palate with flavors of dry cherry, crushed lavender, and chocolate covered blueberries. The texture is rich and velvety which leads to a long, structured finish.
2020 Jordan Russian River Valley Chardonnay
Delicate aromas of Fuji apple, Asian pear, freshly cut persimmon and citrus blossom entice the nose. Upon first sip, mouthwatering grapefruit and bright lime interplay on the palate. The lively acidity balances seamlessly with French oak nuances, enticing you to take another sip.
2021 Melville Estate Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay
On the nose you instantly get a gust of ocean breeze as if standing in front of a wave crashing on the shore. The scent of shallow ocean gives way to crushed chalk followed by lime, underripe pineapple and honeysuckle. The palate electrifies with citrus notes of kumquats and lime. The signature Sta. Rita Hills sunshine takes stage in the glass in the form of vibrant pineapple and golden kiwi. The 2021 Estate Chardonnay’s freshness begs for food but does great with just good conversation.
2019 Mount Veeder Winery Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Dark berry, baking spice, and mocha flavors fill the finish as savory notes of leather and wet stone balance the sweetness of the fruit.
2019 Sinegal Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
This wine delivers exceptional power, class, and beauty; all hallmarks of Sinegal’s signature style. Aromas of ripe raspberry, licorice and mocha radiate from the glass, followed by subtle hints of brown sugar and baking spice. On the palate, there is a wonderful balance of fresh fruit, lush tannins, and a deep, lingering finish. Flavors of red cherry and plum jam are met with clove and sweet leather undertones. This polished wine is full of intensity, richness and style and is a superb example of a classic Napa Valley Cabernet.
2011 Fèlsina Vin Santo del Chianti Classico
Golden yellow, with coppery highlights. Peach, apricot, pineapple and tropical dried fruit aromas. Consistency on the palate, softness and elegance nicely structured by the oak barrels. Wine with great balance, favorable acidity and a well-harmonized residual sugar.
