WINE OF THE WEEK:

We just tasted a Cabernet Sauvignon that immediately made us think,
“People are gonna love this!”

It’s the 2016 Bread & Butter Cabernet, brand new to the shop and just 13.97
per bottle. Like the winery’s Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, which we’ve carried
for quite a while, it is super friendly and approachable.

It expresses captivating aromas of mocha, ripe berries, violets, and blackcurrant with intertwining layers of subtle black pepper, toasted oak and rich vanilla. Lively and complex, it enters the palate with layers of ripe blackberry and chocolate covered cherries. The round and luscious mouthfeel is accented by soft tannins and a hint of spice that weaves into a smooth, lingering finish.

If you like your reds smooth, ripe, and oaky, this one might be for you! Available
to try in the bar this week.
