These are the Silver wines. First, the 2015 Cline
Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast.

This approachable Pinot displays a pretty red velvet
color. Aromas and flavors of red fruit, cedar, spearmint,
lilacs and dark chocolate make this a complex and
tasty wine.

Silver #2 is the 2015 Altocedro Malbec from Mendoza,
Argentina. 89 points Wine Advocate.

Dark fruit, smoke, and coffee notes on the nose are
echoed on the palate, with terrific structure, and a
fascinating duet between the dark plum and smoke
notes on the finish.

Both Gold wines are from Siete Fincas in Argentina.
First up is the 2012 Secreto Reserva, a blend of
65% Malbec, 15% Cabernet, 10% Merlot and 10%
Syrah.

Aromas of figs and blueberries meet notes of hickory
and eucalyptus. Full-bodied, lush flavors of black cherry
and blackberry jam are interlaced with notes of tobacco,
leading to dry tannins on a powerful and satisfying finish.

Last but definitely not least is the 2012 Gran Secreto,
which is 100% Malbec.

Aromas of fleshy crushed plum, roasted coffee, and
undertones of anise and violet emerge in this rich and
sophisticated Malbec. Round and full in texture, with
flavors of raspberry ganache, toasted hazelnut & blackberry.

Delicious, fun, drinkable wines, and they’re waiting
for you right here at North County Wine Company.
See you soon!
