Wine Recommendations

Fermented in stainless steel tanks, this Chardonnay did not undergo malolactic fermentation
Light golden color wine with aromas of pineapple, apple, white flowers and tangerines
It’s dry with medium plus acidity, light body and flavors similar to aromas
Crisp, light and refreshing wine great with light pastas, grilled fish or salads.

This wine is a blend of Sangiovese, Colorino, and Merlot with aromas of sour cherries with a hint of earthiness
It’s dry with medium plus acidity and tannins with flavors of sour cherries, earth and black tea
The tannins give a lovely smooth texture to the wine with a pleasant finish
Great food wine to pair with salami, cold cuts and pasta

This wine has aromas of cherries, baking spices a hint of earth
It’s dry, light bodied with light tannins, medium plus acidity and flavors of cherries, red berries and rose
This wine is delicate but needs a little time to open up with some oxygen for the flavors to really shine
The new oak was perfectly done with just enough to give it some complexity but not overwhelm the wine and keep all those lovely red fruit flavors.

From Venturi Vineyard in Mendocino County California
These vines were planted in 1948.
This wine has aromas of red fruits and baking spices
It’s dry with medium plus acidity and tannins and flavors of red fruits like cherries and cranberries as well as a little earth
This is a leaner style Zin than what you would get from other places in California like Lodi.
Really fresh tasting, fruit forward wine with bright acidity
