2011 Mason Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley
“Our Mason Sauvignon Blanc is from a single vineyard called Blockhouse in Yountville, a growing region well suited for producing elegant Sauvignon Blanc because of its cool evening maritime influence and warm days. Located in the heart of the valley floor, we’ve hand selected fruit from this block for over 18 years- leafing the morning side for mottled light, leaving the afternoon side shaded to protect from burn. This wine has an elegant, floral, and fig-like nose with flavors of grapefruit, melon, quince, and hints of fresh cut grass. A full, savory acidity finishes smooth and clean. A wonderful wine for food pairing as it will compliment many different flavors. 100% Stainless, 100% Sauvignon Blanc.” From the Winery
2009 Domaine du Trapadis Cote Du Rhone, France
100% Grenache Noir
The vineyard is cultivated without herbicides, chemical fertilizers or synthetic products. Small amounts of copper and sulfur are utilized in addition to fertilizers derived from animal and vegetal compost. The soil is ploughed six times a year. The yield is controlled by pruning the vines short, de-budding twice a year and by omitting grapes from the young vines. The wine exhibits a dense purple color as well as a bouquet of chocolate, black cherry, blackberry, licorice, crushed rock and earth. Full-bodied, powerful, and rich, with sweet tannins.
2010 Giornata Wines Il Campo Red, Central Coast, California
A quick swirl of the glass releases cinnamon and nutmeg scents, highlighting bright cherry and boysenberry fruit notes. Fresh and vibrant, with Sangiovese's characteristic flavors of sour cherry and spice, this dry, full-bodied red combines the intensity of ripe California fruit with cooling notes of conifer and fresh earth. Il Campo, a blend of Sangiovese with small amounts of Merlot and Petit Verdot, is Brian Terrizzi's tribute to traditional Tuscan field blends, in which different grape varieties are planted and harvested together. The grapes for this wine came from two vineyards in California's cool coastal region, one in Santa Barbara County and the other in Paso Robles.
2007 Tenute Sella Bramaterra DOC, Piedmont, Italy
Nebbiolo 70%, Croatina 20%, Vespolina 10%
The Sella wine estates are one of the oldest active Italian wine producers. The Sella family has produced wine in Lessona from their own vineyards since 1671. Bramaterra is a feminine wine endowed with delicate notes of flowers, raspberries and sweet herbs. Medium in body, this classically-styled wine reveals lovely balance in an understated style. Great purity and excellent body, the 2007 is an outstanding vintage, that will grow for the next twenty or thirty years.
