Wines


 

Noble Vines 242 Sauvignon Blanc
This wine exhibits vibrant aromas of white peach, green melon and lemongrass. Medium bodied with a round mid palate and bright acidity, this refreshing wine offers flavors of guava, passion fruit and a hint of lemon zest.

 

B Side Cabernet
Excellent fruit and balance without sacrificing tannin, backbone, and potential for aging. A blend of two different Napa benchland vineyards, this dark, garnet red Cabernet opens with wild strawberry and boysenberry aromas, a touch of caramelized oak, bittersweet chocolate, and hints of charcoal from the rich and multifaceted Napa Valley soils.

 

LaFreynelle Blanc
Very pretty floral and stone fruit aromas waft up from the glass, with apple blossoms and pears showing the most. Similar flavors show on the palate, with the addition of Meyer lemon adding a citrus tang. Partial malolactic fermentation softens the palate and adds apple notes to the mid-palate. Acids are well balanced.

LaFreynelle Rouge
This Chateau Freynelle is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon with a very intense nose of spice, chocolate and plums. On the palate the wine is well balanced with ripe, spicy fruit and a savoury character, while the finish is long and elegant.

 

  Bouchard Chardonnay
A great introduction to white Burgundy; from the Bourgogne region, one of the rarest regional appellations in France, this is a refreshing Chardonnay sure to satisfy as an apertif or alongside your favorite fish.
Pale and clear gold. Fresh fruit and white flowers. A well balanced wine combining perfectly freshness and sweetness.

 

Decoy Chardonnay
Made from a careful selection of top Sonoma County Chardonnay, with an emphasis on grapes from the cooler Sonoma Coast.. This wine has inviting orange blossom and honey aromas with a hint of rich creme brulee. On the palate, lush tropical flavors and a creamy texture lead to a soft, round mid-palate with bright, refreshing acidity, adding length and focus to the abundant fruit.

Decoy Sauvignon Blanc
The bright, enticing nature of this wine is immediately apparent in the aromatics, where tropical notes of guava and passion fruit mingle with hints of fresh-cut grass and grapefruit blossom. On the palate, crisp green apple and pineapple flavors are supported by a touch of citrus zest, with uplifting acidity contributing length and poise to this lovely Sauvignon Blanc.

 

Polka Dot Riesling
Pölka dot Sweet Riesling is perfect for those who crave something a little sweet. Your senses will come full circle when you take in the floral aromas and soft flavors of pear and nectarine. This well-balanced, easy-to-enjoy Riesling will remind you why you're a Riesling fan in the first place.

 

LaForet Red
Site: adozen of various appellations especially rigorously selected by Joseph Drouhin are used for this wine.
History & tradition: the first plantings of Pinot Noir in Burgundy probably go back to 150 BC. Laforêt Bourgogne rouge, made 100% with this famous grape, is the archetype of red Burgundy for Joseph Drouhin

.

 

LaForet White
Laforêt Bourgogne Chardonnay is made with the Chardonnay grape coming from the whole of Burgundy. It is often the entry level wine leading to the great white Burgundies: to drink it provides the simple pleasures of a classic Burgundy.

 

Mirrassou Pinot Noir
Fruit forward and approachable in style, Mirassou Pinot Noir has flavors of cherry, strawberry and red currant, which are supported by light vanilla and oak notes. This wine is well balanced with a round, full mouthfeel.

 

La Vielle Ferme Red
On the nose there are immediate upfront freshly crushed red and black berry fruits with peppery undertones, stewed cherries, licorice root, earthy minerals, violet pastilles, wet tobacco and herbs de Provence.

On the palate this wine is upfront with big fruit extraction, spicy black cherry notes, lots of peppery red fruit and a big, powerful structure with present but supple tannins. The midpalate shows lovely complexity with yet more pepper, crushed sloe fruit, elderberry juice and herbs and faint hints of aged wood. The finish is solid with hints of raspberry liqueur and rustic mineral edges as well as spices, and the wine lingers for 20-plus seconds on the palate.

La Vielle Ferme White
Bright yellow with a hint of green. This elegant and fruity wine comes from vines grown high on the slopes of the Luberon Mountains, one of the Rhone Valley's coolest vineyards.

The blend of Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc, Ugni Blanc and Rousanne grapes has produced a typical Rhone Valley white that is soft, balanced and deliciously aromatic.

 

  Autard Cote du Rhone Red
This delicious Cotes du Rhone is loaded with bright red cherry tones, sweetly concentrated, fresh brambly berry fruit, solid mouthfeel and richness in the mid palate. Classic Cotes du Rhone that is versatile and crowd pleasing and will work with a wide range of dishes from grilled or roasted chicken or pork to lamb or a hearty beef stew.

 

MAN Cabernet
Soft aromas of spice, plum, vanilla and tobacco start this appealing Cabernet from MAN. On the palate, integrated, elegant flavors of cedar, plum and warming spice are backed by a balanced acidity. The finish is fruity with a touch of cinnamon. Pair with beef, cheese. The unique balance of New- and Old-World wine styles is a feature of South Africa and perhaps best reflected in Cabernet Sauvignon based wines.

 

Joel Gott Cabernet

beautifully balanced flavors of dried fruit and currants, and ripe, evolved tannins expressive of Rutherford dust. Its long,
smooth finish marries rich fruit with savory, toasted oak tones.
