Terlato Vineyards 2003 Syrah - Syrah/Shiraz Red Wine
 

Terlato Vineyards 2003 Syrah - Syrah/Shiraz Red Wine

$39.99  $26.95

Red Wine by Terlato from Sonoma County, California. In France's Rhone Valley, the Syrah grape shows off its full flavor in classic appellations like Cote Rotie and Hermitage. In Australia, Syrah is Shiraz, and the brawny reds from the land down under have made Shiraz Australia's signature varietal. In the United States, Terlato Vineyards 2003 Syrah Dry Creek Valley combines the best of both worlds. Terlato Vineyards found perfect Syrah conditions in Sonoma County's Dry Creek Valley, which shares important characteristics with the Rhone Valley. With luscious fruit and the best concepts of the Old and New Worlds, the winemaking team crafted a voluptuous wine with flavors of black cherry, plum, and currants, and hints of violets. Though ready today, Syrah is slow to mature, so the inaugural vintage will benefit with a few years of cellaring. It has the attributes to be a monumental wine. Rated 91/100 by Anthony Dias Blue.

Trefethen 2005 Chardonnay - White Wine
 

Trefethen 2005 Chardonnay - White Wine

$29.99

White Wine by Trefethen from Napa Valley, California. Trefethen's primary estate vineyard is located in the heart of the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley AVA, which occupies an ideal climate zone between Napa's warmer up-valley districts and its cool southern tip. The marine influence of nearby San Pablo Bay allows their estate Chardonnay grapes to ripen slowly and evenly, developing concentrated flavors while retaining high levels of acidity. Trefethen 2005 Chardonnay exudes beguiling ripe, yellow apple, peach, honeyed citrus and light butter scents, with intriguing hints of anise and tarragon. On the beautifully structured palate, its bright apple, lemon and pineapple flavors boast a refreshing minerality that persists throughout the wine's long, clean finish. This Chardonnay makes a wonderful match for dishes with bold citrus and tarragon flavors. Roasted chicken, veal piccata, lemon fettuccini Alfredo and succulent pork loin are just a few examples.

Light Asian fare and seafood dishes with a hint of spice also make great accompaniments to this wine. Trinchero's chef pairs the 2006 Chardonnay with pan-seared diver scallops with shitake mushrooms and fresh basil.

White Wine by Valley of the Moon from Sonoma County, California. This traditional Alsatian-style wine is a blend of grapes from vineyards that are located in the Russian River Valley and the Southern Sonoma Valley. Both viticultural areas have deep alluvial soil and a cool climate due to the moderating influence of the Pacific Ocean and the San Pablo Bay. These cool microclimates are responsible for preserving the crisp acidity and fresh fruit character of the wine. Aromas of honeysuckle, pear and lime are accented with a hint of hazelnut. Rich and complex tropical and citrus fruit flavors lead to a creamy finish balanced with crisp green apple tartness. This perfectly balanced Pinot Blanc pairs well with seafood, shellfish (particularly oysters), poultry, salads, fruits, light pastas and mild cheeses.

Voss Vineyards 2002 VV2 Syrah - Syrah/Shiraz Red Wine
 

Voss Vineyards 2002 VV2 Syrah - Syrah/Shiraz Red Wine

$16.29

Red Wine by Voss Vineyards from Napa Valley, California. Vineyard The fruit for our VV2 Syrah is grown at our vineyard in Rutherford. The Voss Vineyard purchased in 1996 contains primarily clay loam soils, which encourage moderate vigor in the vines. When combined with an ideal climate of warm days and cool nites, this site gives Syrah rich in flavor and texture. Vintage The 2002 vintage began early with bud break occurring in mid March. March and most of April were warm, causing rapid vine growth. The end of April turned cold with several nights of frost. The weather warmed up in May with flowering in Syrah during the third week under partly cloudy skies. From June until August the weather was relatively cool, with daytime temperatures in the mid seventies to low eighties. This mild weather caused a slow ripening of the fruit, leading to a long hang-time, which allows the flavor precursors to fully develop. September gave just enough heat to fully ripen the tannins before harvest. Winemaking After harvesting and crushing in the early morning, the Syrah fruit underwent a 3-day cold soak prior to fermentation. Cap management included both pump-overs and rack and returns to aerate the must and achieve full extraction. Just prior to dryness the tank was pressed to barrel to finish fermentation and spent 18 months in American oak. Winemaker's Notes The 2002 VV2 Syrah is deep red color and exhibits cherry, plum and mocha aromas. On the palate this wine offers bright berry flavours complemented by vanilla and toast notes. Supple tannins will allow this wine to age gracefully for the next 5 years.

This classic Sauvignon Blanc finishes with crisp and lingering citrus peel notes. The fruit for our VV2 Sauvignon Blanc is grown primarily in Rutherford at our Voss estate vineyard in and a nearby block. Our vineyard has a clay loam soil, while the other consists of a gravelly loam. Additionally, we source a little fruit from another distinguished vineyard site in Yountville. The Voss estate vineyard purchased in 1996, contains heavy clay-loam soils, which when combined with this ideal climate, produce grapes of intensely perfumed tropical fruit character. The two other vineyards are on lighter deeper loam soil. This combined with the slightly cooler climate imparts citrus and mineral flavors along with good acidity.
