Nicolas Barreyre Bordeaux Superieur, France
A small, sustainably farmed 9-hectare property with a view of the Garonne and the nearby port of Macau, Château Barreyre actually lies within the Haut Médoc. It is in fact quite close to the border of the Margaux appellation. Yet, due to its proximity to the river and higher clay content in the soil, Château Barreyre is entitled only to the appellation Bordeaux Supérieur – a boon to savvy consumers looking for bona fide Bordeaux at an affordable price. Bright nose of red and dark fruits; soft, well-rounded texture on the palate with a touch of Bordeaux “grip.” Fresh and satisfying finish.
California Landscape “The Pier” Zinfandel, Lodi California
Lodi California is an ideal location for Zinfandel. Warm days and cool evenings provide the perfect environment to ripen the complex fruit perfectly. It is a unique grape that cannot be compared to many for aromas, texture, or length of flavor. To maximize flavor, grapes are harvested at their peak ripeness. While it is important to obtain proper sugar and corresponding ‘warm’ alcohol levels, the real essence of Zinfandel is the complex notes of spices, plums, and ‘earthiness’. Bold and lush with cherry and plum dominating the bouquet followed by aromas of crushed black pepper. Boysenberry, wild strawberry, and cola fill the palate. The Pier finishes with subtle oak nuances. The Pier is delicious with Spaghetti and Meatballs, Barbecued Baby Back Ribs, Beef Kabobs and Hamburgers. Feta, Gruyere and Havarti make excellent cheese accompaniments.
Requiem Red Blend, Columbia Valley Washington
Requiem Red is a blend of 50% Syrah and 50% Merlot from four sites in the Columbia Valley, mostly the Yakima Valley AVA. Fruit was harvested (Merlot in late August/early September and Syrah in late September) and completely destemmed. Vinification and aging takes place in stainless steel fermenters. This is a sassy blend with swagger – full and juicy with ripe, gushing, velvety black fruit flavors. You may find blackcurrant, dark cherries, briar patch fruits, blueberry jam, licorice, and dark chocolate – or maybe not. You will find it to be delicious. Robust, spicy and warm, this is a great companion for a workday wind down, roasted dishes at the table, and lively conversation into the wee hours of the night.
Cantina Della Vernaccia “Don Efisio” Monica di Sardegna Superiore
Monica was one of the first red grapes introduced in Sardinia. The variety finds an ideal home in the valley of Oristano, thanks to the nearness of the sea and the typically Mediterranean climate. The location is perfect for its medium and sparse bunches of grapes to achieve perfect ripeness, creating a fresh wine with good structure and high drinkability. Ruby red color, with red fruit and spicy aromas on the nose. The wine is dry, fresh and pleasantly smooth on the palate. This brooding red is a good pairing with Hors d’oeuvres, entrées, roasted meat.
