Today’s Tasting!
Patianna Estate Vineyards Organic Sauvignon Blanc ($19.99) – This Sauvignon Blanc is produced entirely from grapes grown in Patianna Estate Vineyard’s gravely, sandy loam soil along the Russian River in Hopland. This Estate Vineyard offers consistent, vibrant flavors of pear and grapefruit, along with ripe aromas of white peach, honeydew melon and citrus. It follows with a clean, fresh finish. Wine Enthusiast said “It delivers everything you love about the variety, inviting one in with melon and minerality, then following through with a surprising creaminess and almost decadent, mousse-like finish.”
Mettler Family Vineyards Old Vine Zinfandel from California ($24.99) – The Mettler 2009 Old Vine Zinfandel is a wine that is full of personality and shows it off with its refined core of luscious, lively flavors. Pleasing aromas of dark cherry, candied apple and toasty oak offer a hint of minerality. Bold and intense, yet complex wild berry, ripe cherry and plum flavors are balanced by a smoky note of espresso and exotic spice. The soft-edged tannins are kept bright and juicy by a pleasing seam of acidity while the flavors build richness and concentration on the finish, leaving you with a pleasant hint of vanilla-scented oak along the way. This wine packs a lot of flavor, yet manages to hold a measure of finesse and grace. A variety cuisines, from hearty stews to grilled favorites, will stand up nicely to this rich and flavorful Zinfandel.
