The aromas then give way to mature plums and spice. In mouth, it is fresh, with good acidity and firm, velvety tannins and light notes of black fruits, typical of the variety.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rutherford Hill Napa Valley Chardonnay from California ($19.99)<\/strong> &#8211; \u00a0Light straw color. Lemon, honey, vanilla with hint of orange blossom. Full-bodied with crisp acidity of citrus, vanilla bean and flinty mineral accents.\u00a0 Rutherford Hill&#8217;s Chardonnay is crafted from grapes grown in the cooler climate of southern Napa Valley that create a wine with striking balance and structure. The 100% Chardonnay fruit is carefully hand-picked into half-ton bins and whole cluster pressed to provide the highest quality wine possible. Delicate aromas of orange blossoms, pear and honey give way to the full bodied, wonderfully layered flavors of fruit and balanced acidity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thursday Night Special Tasting!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ron and Keith will not be able to make it in this Thursday night so we will have a special tasting to enjoy the Thursday Night Chateau La Vin Tradition.\u00a0 I have selected a nice variety of five new wines from sweet to dry for you to taste. \u00a0We will start the tasting at 6:00 pm.\u00a0 We will be tasting Angioletta Moscato; Bauer Haus Riesling; Claude Val Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault rose; Protocolo Tempranillo based blend and Rubizzo Sangiovese!\u00a0 It will be a great tasting!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Like us on Facebook!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who would have thought that 93 degrees would feel so cool!\u00a0 Well maybe not cool, but a lot better than it has been.\u00a0 The evenings should even be cool enough to enjoy the wine garden!\u00a0 We have a good week planned for you!\u00a0 I hope&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-645","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=645"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":649,"href":"https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645\/revisions\/649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
