DOUBLE CENTURY SHIRAZ 2019
PLUM BLACKBERRY SMOKE EUCALYPTUS
In classic Australian style, this Shiraz is wonderfully fruity and smoky, with the slightest hint of cooling eucalyptus on the nose. Ripe fruit notes are balanced by lean acidity. — 4 years ago

Tasting notes of apple, candied lemon, stone, white peach.

This craft California sparkling is light and fresh, showcasing racy yellow and white fruit.

Meet your new everyday bubbly. Finke’s is our pursuit to define a new style of quality California sparkling wine that perfectly reflects the state’s sun-kissed fruit. This small-lot Chardonnay was picked early in the season and produced in the Charmat method. It sees minimal aging, resulting in an especially fresh and youthful wine with bright acidity on the palate and minerally notes of lemon, apple and white peach. Enjoy with lighter fare, seafood, or anytime you want to celebrate! — 4 years ago

“Our tempting 2018 vintage of the 93 Point, Gold medal-winning Pinot Noir. With wine, the Devil is in the details, and with Devil’s Advocate, you can always be sure that you are drinking exquisitely crafted wine. California is one of the many diverse wine growing regions in the world that truly shows the impact of terroir on a wine. Our genuine Pinot Noir was sourced from the former inland vineyards resulting in a luminescent garnet beauty. This is a classic and easy-drinking Pinot Noir, with red fruit and a touch of spice. It has an elegant balance that dances between light acidity, moderate alcohol, and a silky texture. We think it's the ideal bottle to start off with at the dinner table. It retails for $21.” — 5 years ago

Cherry Vanilla Coke wine. Lovely. Meiggs' Pardon 2018 Promissory Red Mendocino County, California

Taste a complex, award-winning wine — fitting for its complex namesake man. Like Meiggs this wine has a storied and complex history. This red blend unfolds as you enjoy it, especially when paired with a leisurely meal. The dark fruit flavors mix with earth and minerals, with a very slight herbaceous kick at the end. Filled with robust notes of plum and blackberry that play off of ripe acidity and beautiful tertiary notes, this is a wine that’s hard to put down. The only thing that can make it better is to pair it with rich foods as they come off the grill. It retails for $25. — 5 years ago

Chill 10 minutes before serving. Tasting notes of pomegranate, raspberry, red cherry, white pepper. A hand-crafted Grenache from the high-elevation Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard reveals bright red fruit notes.

The very atmosphere of the Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard feels wild and restless. Sited between 2800-3200 feet above sea level, this is the highest elevation vineyard in Santa Barbara County and covers hills and mountain plateaus. The high-elevation location provides more UV intensity than anywhere else in the county, while a 30-40 degree daily temperature swing helps keep the grapes protected from the sun’s intensity. This unique and extreme location provides the grapes for the 2018 Grenache, which were picked at night and fermented whole-cluster. With naturally beautiful aromatics, the result is a light ruby red wine – fresh and fruity with silky tannins, lean acidity, and a long finish.

Gilded Letter 2018 Zinfandel Lodi, California
Drink in the opulence of the Double Gold medal-winning “Best of Lodi” Gilded Letter Zinfandel. Gilding is a process of applying gold, and in doing so the artist adds more value to an object. The winemaker of Gilded Letter has done the same for this Zinfandel. Full-bodied with firm tannins, it is voluptuous and formidable at the same time. Our experts love the richness of the red fruit and chocolate notes, but the real complexity comes with the subtle hints of cracked black pepper and spice. This Lodi wine shines with food, the structure holding up to the hardiest flavors. It retails for $23
