Today’s Tasting!
Some of you are already familiar with these wines, but with the start of summer I thought it would be a great time to revisit them. Stop in for a taste!
New Age White from Argentina ($14.99) – It is a light yellow-green colored wine, with fruity and floral aromas of great intensity. Balanced acidity leads to soft, semi-sweet and slightly effervescent flavors and mouth feel. It is an extremely refreshing, vivacious and sensual wine. Winemaker Notes: The fruit is handpicked followed by crushing, cooling of crushed grapes, and pressing. Fermentation begins by inoculating with selected yeasts. Halfway through the fermentation process, the wine is centrifuged (spun) to halt fermentation, creating a slightly sweet, semi-sparkling wine. Serving Hints: Should be served well-chilled as an aperitif or dessert. Also tastes great with spicy Thai, Indian, Chinese or Japanese cuisine. Grape Variety: 90% Torrontes and 10% Sauvignon Blanc
Reinares Tempranillo from Spain ($11.99) – The color is deep rose with a muted nose of cherries and dried flowers. The attack is very soft but at the same time dry, crisp and with good minerality. The finish is long and refined. Who says rose can’t have character?
Schild Estate Barossa Shiraz from Australia ($24.99) – Polished and generous, offering a racy mouthful of tobacco-accented cherry and black currant fruit that finishes with an edge of dried sage, licorice and fresh cream. This lingers impressively, showing amazing depth for the price. This wine can stand up to any barbeque! Drink now through 2017. Wine Spectator 92 pts.
