Medium crimson-colored, the nose reveals fragrant blueberries and underbrush. Firm on the palate with plenty of savory fruit, it is meant for drinking over the next 3 years.\u00a0 The image of the passion flower was chosen for Tarima because the blossom never ceases to amaze and entice people around the world.\u00a0 The vivid colors and complex structure draws you in for a closer look; just as the color and aromas of this wine attract your attention.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Claude Val Rose from France ($17.99)<\/strong> &#8211; 40 percent grenache, 30 percent cinsault, 30 percent syrah.\u00a0 The three grapes contribute to this wine from the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France, Claude Val Ros\u00e9.\u00a0 It has flavors of a red wine without being heavy and oppressive. \u00a0The dry wine features notes of strawberries and fresh herbs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0Andeluna Torrontes from Argentina ($16.99)<\/strong>\u00a0 &#8211; \u00a0&#8220;The 2011 Andeluna Torront\u00e9s is a bold, confident take on the always fruity Torront\u00e9s.\u00a0 The nose features strong tropical notes and fruit highlighted by fresh peach.\u00a0 The gulp was a pleasant surprise as freshness balanced out some strawberry and citrus.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t consider any Torront\u00e9s that I have tried to be dry, relative to typical Torront\u00e9s it was on the dryish side.\u00a0 The wine also showed some mineral tastes.\u00a0 Think of how balanced Sauvignon Blanc is made, and it will give you an idea of how this wine was elaborated.\u00a0 The wine was full of life, teeming with flavor and very satisfying in a slightly guilty pleasure way.&#8221;\u00a0 By bottledj on August 6, 2011<\/p>\n<p>Come in, get out of the heat and taste some great wine!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Like us on Facebook!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a beautiful day in Napa!\u00a0 It&#8217;s 69 degrees right now with a high of 78 today!\u00a0 Too bad we are stuck here in this 105 degree heat!!!\u00a0 Well, it is still 70 degrees inside at Chateau La Vin!
