Wedding Cuvée Sparkling Blend 2019

SPARKLING LUNCH

Pale salmon in color.

Light red fruits on the nose with apples, apricots, strawberries, minerals, yeast, brioche and spices.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, strawberries, citrus, lemons, apples, yeast, spices, bread, minerals and light sea salt.

Long finish with lemons and limes.

This is a delicious Rosé Sparkling wine from Russian River Valley. Nicely balanced and elegant.

Delicate and reserved. Fruity, crisp and easy drinking. Feels like a Rosé Champagne.

Needs 45 minutes of airtime to open up properly. Worth the wait.

This vintage Sparkling wine will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Wine Spectator 93 points.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 77% Pinot Noir and 23% Chardonnay. Aged for 3 years in the bottle before disgorgement.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Hawk and Horse Vineyards

Red Hills Lake County Petite Sirah 2017

This is a very tasty Petite Sirah from Lake County in California.

Dry and fruity on the palate with medium acidity.

Medium plus in body with a nice, soft mouth feel.

Showing blueberries, black cherries, black currants, cedar, earth, vanilla, licorice, spices, tobacco, chocolates, light graphite and peppercorn.

Nice finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 4 year old is already drinking very nicely with nice complexity.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 45 minutes of airtime.

Would be nice to revisit it again in 3 years, and see how it evolved.

Nicely balanced and fruit forward. Easy drinking and elegant.

A small production of only 150 cases.

14.1% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

Carlisle Winery & Vineyards

Montafi Ranch Zinfandel

Took 30 mins to open but really enjoying the boozy strawberries and fine dusty secondaries and waining structure. Really in an excellent place but I could see 3-5 years of pleasure left to give. Can’t wait for the next glass. — 7 months ago

Nickel & Nickel

State Ranch Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

This wine has aged very gracefully. Did not decant but allowed to open in glass as we slow drank the bottle over 3-4 hours. Dark, full, dry, smooth. Outstanding! — 3 years ago

Bedrock Wine Co.

Papera Ranch Heritage Russian River Valley Red Blend 2014

Never know what I’m going to get when I open a Bedrock. This one seems to be okay with some blackberries, licorice, brambles and such, not overly complex but good. Opened and decanted about an hour before dinner and seemed to be the same from start to about 3 hours later. — a year ago

Dark Horse Ranch Grenache 2016

Failla

Keefer Ranch Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2011

Going strong. My notes from 3 months ago still apply. Age has brought out nothing but goodness. And I’d venture there are a few more years left in it. No point in waiting though. — 4 years ago
