We love Pinot Noir as it a highly versatile food wine! The best Pinot Noir is made from a blend of many clones to get layered complexity in the wine. We cofermented clones 115 with 828 and 667 with 777 from two vineyards to give balanced blending components resulting in a wine with excellent fruit, tannins and acidity. The wine was aged in 33% new French oak for 14 months. Serving this wine with sage rubbed turkey, duck burgers, and roasted herb squab. It is ready to drink now but we recommend 12 months in bottle before opening and will develop with bottle age for the next 5 to 7 years.
Rhone wines have long been recognized as fantastic, food-friendly wines. Both Syrah and white Rhone blend (Marsanne / Roussanne / Viognier) pair extremely well with holiday foods especially turkey and ham. Treat yourself to some lovely wine or gift the set to your holiday host! It will brighten your family and friends holiday enjoyment.
The wine is an opaque ruby with slight purple core transitioning to a purple rim. The medium intensity nose has aromas of floral (white), black cherry, black olive, red cherry, strawberry, cracked black pepper and warm spices. The palate has medium+ acidity, medium+ fine-grained tannins, long length with complex, layered flavors matching the aroma plus warm spices on entry, cracked white pepper and pomegranate and on the finish. It is a very pleasant mouth-watering mouth feel just begging to be had with a rich meat-based dish.
Roaring Red is a proprietary blend of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Mendocino Syrah for your everyday meals. It is an easy drinking red wine best served with Mediterranean food over the next couple of years.
The wine is easily identifiable as a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon due to the opaque ruby color and intensity nose of herbs, red (currant and plum), ripe black fruits (cassis, black olive, cherry), milk chocolate, oak and vanilla. On the palate, the flavors match the aromas with the addition of blackberry with a long baking spice and cocoa finish over fine-grained, “dusty” tannins. It is recommended with prime rib, beef with peppercorn sauce, hearty beef, lamb or bison stews.
This blend of Marsanne (50%), Roussanne (48%), and Viognier (2%) is a delicate, unique, almost “ethereal” wine – a secret to share with intimate friends on a warm summer day. Leon recommens it with crab cakes, Waldorf Salad, apple/pear tart, roasted turkey or something a little bit spicy!
On the hunt for a full-bodied red at your next meal? Roaring Redtm is a bold, fruity, highly approachable blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Mourvedre, Merlot and Petite Verdot. If you are enjoy soft, chewy tannins with your fruit, you will love this wine! The wine is a natural pairing partner for any BBQ or braised meats.
