In 2009, Green Groves outdid itself, crafting an extraordinary Russian River Valley Pinot Noir — a wine brimming with red and black fruit flavors, accented by a kiss of sweet caramel. If we were only using one word to describe it, that word would be: sublime.
Jones Bridge taps a number of respectable growers for its Chardonnay grapes, and blends them to assure a consistent style. The 2009 bottling, like vintages before it, is rich, fruitful and slightly spicy and like the variety itself, absolutely worth the wait.
Beautiful to look at (red with black tints and a shade of purple), beguiling to smell (with a smoky fruit aroma), and engaging on the palate, the wine is delicate yet full-flavored — and certainly deserving of the star role that the variety enjoys in Argentina.
The 2009 Cross Creek Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, light, fresh and dry wine. The vintner recommends enjoying this wine with grilled shrimp or a well-spiced crab cake — the perfect wine for the start of summer.
This still-youthful wine offers notes of assorted berries, plum, black cherry and cassis. With fruit sourced from some of the best California vineyards, we are sure that this sublime Cab will be your style.
Charing Cross grows its Pinot Grigio grapes in Monterey County, one of California's coolest growing regions. There, the long growing season produces exceptionally flavorful grapes — grapes that make a delicious and refreshing wine.
