Nice length on the finish.
GC Wines “Joyride” Sparkling Rosé of Pinot Noir
The grapes are gently pressed and then fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged on lees for 4 months before preparing for bottling. There is no “dosage” in this wine, so you have a bright and fresh sparkler. This is more of a “Prosecco” in style, a forced carbonated wine. All stainless steel; 95% Pinot Noir with a 5% addition of Chardonnay. It is a bright and fruity style with a creamy textured mid palate and acidity that carries across the palate.
La Prensa Tempranillo, Valle Central Chile
La Prensa, which means “wine press” in Spanish, is a young and vibrant fruit-forward wine. The vineyards are located in Villa Alegre, in Maule Valley, one of the main regions of Central Valley. Its mediterranean climate, with 735 mm of rain per year, is ideal for the Spanish grape varietal. The great range of temperature between day and night allows the grapes to develop ripe tannins, rich aromas and high concentrated flavors. This Tempranillo has a ruby red color, with notes of cherries and plums on the nose. On the palate, this wine is well structured and smooth, with a very pleasant finish.
La Pianure Cabernet, Venezia Giulia Italy
Francesco Stocco founded the winery in 1910 in the small town of Bicinicco. Originally the wine he produced went only to family members and locals. Today it is his descendent Andrea Stocco has expanded his reach. Stocco winery now has 60 hectares of vineyards in the heart of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region. Garnet in color, with notes of strawberry, roasted pepper, and plum, with a characteristically fruity and grassy bouquet. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with pleasant notes of raspberry. It goes superbly with game, robust dishes and all mature cheeses.
Beauty in Chaos Red Blend, Columbia Valley Washington
Born in the fertile terrains of the Columbia Valley, this Red Blend showcases an elegant medley of bold dark fruit accented by a playful bite of pepper. But, as if mirroring the unexpected joys of life, subtle notes of radiant red berries emerge, tantalizing your senses. Crafted from a harmonious blend of Merlot, Syrah, and a hint of Viognier, this Washington red blend promises depth, intrigue, and a dance of flavors. Perfect for dinners with family, friendly gatherings, or a cozy night at home, pair Beauty In Chaos with pork tenderloin, grilled salmon, or soft cheeses.
Hesketh “Regional Selections” Grenache, Barossa Valley Australia
A complex nose of red fruits, lavender and blood orange rind. Wild strawberries, pomegranate and black cherry prime the palate for licks of white pepper and spice. With fine-grained, powdery tannins, this wine is medium bodied and full flavored. Once considered a workhorse variety here in Australia, Grenache is now experiencing the recognition it deserves as an outstanding single variety and the Barossa Valley is home to some of the oldest Grenache vines in the world. The warm climate and abundant sunshine provide ideal growing conditions, culminating in a wine that is expressive of variety and region. A burger from Schlenker’s, a slice of supreme pizza, or nuggets in the air fryer, this is a wine to match those easy (lazy) meals.
