Rutherford Wines at Tonight’s Tasting!
Gary Hoyd from Rutherford Wine Company will be in the shop at 6:00 tonight to taste several of his wines. We will taste their
Lander Jenkins Cabernet Sauvignon ($14.99) – This vintage is sourced from premium Central Coast vineyards. The growing season started with a dry winter then a cool spring and summer leading to slow maturing and, therefore superior quality fruit. This wine has intense fruit forward flavors and soft, approachable tannins. 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Merlot, 1% Syrah, 1% Zinfandel, 1% Petite Syrah.
Rutherford Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon ($22.99) – 40% of our Cabernet grapes come from our favorite Rutherford vineyards. Blended with fruit from various micro-climates within the Napa Valley, this gives us wine of great complexity. This wine is a lovely ruby color. It is full bodied and well-balanced with good acidity and fine tannins. 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 3% Syrah, 1% Zinfandel.
Rutherford Ranch Zinfandel ($19.99) – A dark purple color with plush fruit aromas of ripe boysenberry, mocha and warm, spicy cinnamon. Layered flavors of juicy boysenberry, cherry and mocha. Well-balanced with refreshing acidity, elegant tannins and a long, smooth finish. 99% Old Vine Zinfandel, 1% Syrah.
Rhiannon Red Blend ($15.99) – A lovely red blended with Syrah, Zinfandel, and Barbera. This wine has scents of cherry and raspberry wrapped. The palate is round and lush, with a medium-bodied texture. Delicious concentrated fruit flavors, combined with silky smooth tannins.
Scott Family Pinot Noir ($29.99) – The clones from our Arroyo Seco vineyards tend towards a rich fruitiness – Clone 777 black and red cherries, hints of almond, violets and pepper; and Clone 115 – floral aromatics and bright acidity. These characteristics combined with the unique soil and climate of the region give us a layered and complex wine with intense aromas and fruit flavors including wild strawberry, dried herbs and lush vanilla with smooth tannins and a long finish. 100% Pinot Noir.
Scott Family Chardonnay (21.99) – Our Scott Family Estate Chardonnay is produced from Dijon clones grown on our Arroyo Seco Estate. It is a wine with exceptional fruit intensity and structure. Warm aromas of Granny Smith apples, lemon meringue pie and spicy cinnamon and vanilla. Flavors are baked apple pie, lemon and orange zest. Full bodied with firm acidity and a long finish. 100% Chardonnay.
A great lineup for you to taste! To make the tasting even better, Chateau La Vin will offer 10% off these wines today only, if you buy six or more bottles while supplies last! Mix and Match from these six great wines!
