Published April 20, 2018 2016 Vintage , Cherry , Cranberry , Pinot Noir , Red Wine , Wine Leave a Comment

Martin-Ray-Russian-River-Valley-Pinot-Noir The 2016 vintage was widely acclaimed as one of the most ideal growing seasons during the last decade. Consistently moderate weather throughout the season yielded balanced chemistry in the grapes and a bountiful crop.

From the Wine Maker – “This is a classic Russian River Valley Pinot Noir with bright acidity and fresh fruit balance. mouth-watering aromas of strawberry, black cherry, toffee and Asian spices give way to a silky, juicy mouthful of cherry, cranberry and spice flavors. Long, delicious finish.”

Pair this vibrant, silky Pinot Noir with grilled salmon, mushroom risotto or creamy butternut squash soup.

2013 Bogle Vineyards Old Vine Zinfandel

Published October 7, 2016 2013 Vintage , California , Cranberry , Peppercorn , Red Wine , Spicy , Wine , Zinfandel Leave a Comment

Head-trained, dry farmed vines are prized for their production of small, concentrated clusters of grapes that produce incredibly rich and intense wines. For years, Bogle has sought out these gnarled old vines to create our Old Vine Zinfandel.

From the Wine Maker – “Vibrant, ripe notes of summer raspberry intoxicate the senses, enticing you to take a sip of this lively red zinfandel. Once on the palate, plush and round flavors of pomegranates meld with fresh cracked peppercorn, juniper and anise. Playful and serious at the same time, the mouth-coating tannins relax into a smooth and supple finish: long, lingering and full of enjoyment.”

This is a versatile wine to pair with everything from rich and unique dishes, to your favorite barbecue or weeknight take out! also great with Grilled Sausages with Caramelized Onions and Peppers, Tandoori Chicken or Gorgonzola Cheese.

2007 St. Clement Merlot

Published June 21, 2013 2007 Vintage , Black Fruits , Blackberry , Cherry , Cranberry , Merlot , Oak , Raspberries , Red Wine , Vanilla Leave a Comment

Dense ruby-red in color, this wine explodes with fruit aromas of ripe black plum and black cherry together with hints of coffee and vanilla.

From the winemaker – “This Merlot opens with aromas of ripe raspberry and cassis. The palate follows through with bright flavors of cranberry and cherry and underlying clove with a smoky, oak finish. The grapes for this Merlot were fermented in a combination of open and closed top fermenters to maximize concentration and extraction in the final blend. Each lot was aged separately in 100 percent French oak (40 percent new) for 19 months before blending and bottling.”

This vintage should be served with soups that contain hearty vegetable stews, chicken stock with meats, hearty meat-based stews or meat stock with vegetables. Desserts, anything with chocolate!

2009 Red Door Cellars Pinot Noir

Published April 8, 2011 2009 Vintage , Andres Restaurant , Cherry , Cranberry , Oak , Peppercorn , Pinot Noir , Wine , Wine & Food Paring Leave a Comment

Paired with a Duet of Chicken and Salmon, red wine sauce and Roasted Vegetables.

Andre’ — “Without sounding like a snob, this wine has a classic Burgundian nose. A touch of fruit followed by earth and dusty leather. OK I know , that reeks of “wine snob” I apologize. Subtle on the palate at first, this wine develops nicely with big full flavors of cherry and peppercorn. Great acidity, and most importantly, Balance.

I think it rounds out the plate of chicken and salmon quite well, turning a duo into a trio. A sip of wine, a bite of fish, a sip of wine a bite of chicken and so on. Each one complimenting the other and the sum being far greater than the parts I will leave the Menage a Trois jokes for another day. If you want to give it a go at home this wine will pair well with any lighter meats or fish off the grill.”

From the winemaker:

“Layered aromas of cigar box, wild cherry marry with earthy notes. A structured palate continues with cherry and cranberry enveloped by developed oak characters. A beautifully balanced finish leaves lingering fruit and oak.”
