Happy New Year!
We’ve got some tasty Club Wines to help you get the new year off to a great start! Details coming up, but first the customary info:
The monthly free bottle winner is Catharine Meeks. Congrats!
Your STOCK-UP DAYS for January are Saturday and Sunday, the 15th and 16th.
Your window of opportunity for tasting all 4 club wines is this midweek, Tuesday the 4th through Thursday the 6th. This tasting is FREE for you and your spouse, or a friend.
Now for your wines, Silver first. The 2020 Valle Reale is a Montepulciano d’Abruzzo from Italy.
This youthful red offers explosive aromas of blueberries, cherries, licorice, and sweet spices. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with plentiful acidity and a pleasant finish.
Next is the 2018 Fidelity Red from Alexander Valley, a blend of Merlot, Cabernet and Petit Verdot.
Black currant, dried raspberry and chocolate mocha flavors are flanked by dried herbal notes. Truffle and allspice accents show on the finish.
Now for the Gold wines. First is the 2016 Siduri Pinot Noir from Oregon’s Yamhill-Carlton region.
This offers a classic bouquet of red currants, black cherries, earth, spice, and forest floor. Elegant, medium-bodied, and layered, it’s a gem.
Finally, the 2017 Ehret Bella’s Cabernet from Knights Valley.
A core of dark berries is accented by an intriguing dusty earthiness, along with notes of cherry compote, pepper, and a savory hint. Terrific structure adds to the impression of prime Knights Valley terroir.
Our sincere thanks for your support. Let’s make the most of 2022!
