Viña Tuelda - Rosé 2010
|
Our Price: $12.00
|
|
|
100% Tempranillo
Rich neon color imparted by the Tempranillo that is closer to red than pink in the glass. Green apple and cherry flavors on the very aromatic nose. Clean and bright in the mouth, which makes it very easy to drink. Fresh strawberry flavors across the palate with a dry clean finish that lingers a touch, especially for a rose. Simply put, it’s a very good wine for hot weather that invites one back to the bottle for more.

Michael Pozzan - Annabella Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
|
|
Our Price: $16.00
|
|
|
This is a fabulous wine for the money. This medium black plum colored Napa Cabernet is dense with heavily extracted black cherry and boysenberry with integrated vanilla notes. The palate is rich with dark skinned fruit like cassis and black cherry. The resolved tannins are firm on the mid-palate and balanced on the sappy and fruit packed mid-palate; the finish is delicate yet supple, soft yet dry. This fine composition was achieved by harvesting ripe and patiently aging the wine for 22 months in French Oak.

The immediate impression is of white flowers and ripe pear and quince. The full texture of the wine in the mouth is very pleasing and with a surprising amount of balanced acid that often lacks in Viognier. The finish returns to white flowers, subtle amounts of honeycomb and is quite refreshing. Drink now with salads, lobster bisque, or sauced white fishes.
