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.
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!
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.
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 to give balanced blending components resulting in a wine with excellent fruit, tannins and acidity. Serving this wine with sage rubbed turkey, duck burgers, braised lamb, and Osso Bucco. Ready to drink upon release.

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.
Rhone wines have long been recognized as fantastic, food-friendly wines.

Treat yourself to some lovely wine or gift the set to your holiday host! It will brighten your family and friends holiday enjoyment.
This blend of Marsanne (66%), Roussanne (33%), and Viognier (1%) is an elegant, unique, almost "ethereal" wine - a secret to share with intimate friends on a warm summer day. It will pair fantastically with crab cakes, tequila chicken, shellfish, avocado chutney, seafood salad with vinaigrette dressing, ceviche, or something a little bit spicy!
"92 points -- A distinctive wine. The first impression is of acidic dryness, which stimulates the palate. then the flavors kick in, and they're opulent in peaches, pineapples, golden apricots, honeysuckle flowers, vanilla custard and cinnamon." May 2009, Wine Enthusiast
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.
This wine shows that California can grow excellent Sangiovese! It is a deep ruby/purple with pronounced aromas of raspberry, jam, bubblegum and cherry (red, dark and sour). The palate shows medium tannins, long length, high acidity and flavors of raspberry, brambleberry, strawberry, rhubarb and sour cherry. It is an excellent wine best served with tomato-based Italian pasta dishes, wild boar and BBQ chicken.
With grapes picked from the Napa Valley floor and mountain vineyards, this wine delivers on the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon pedigree of power, ripe fruit and balanced tannins.
"90 points -- Here's a smooth, polished and rewarding Cabernet Sauvignon. It shows the structure and finesse you expect from Napa Valley, and is not one of those modern fruit bombs despite rich flavors of blackberries, currants and cassis. Good now and through 2010, at least" May 2009, Wine Enthusiast
