2019 The Shepherd Sauvignon Blanc
Hot days are made for cooler wines and Sauvignon Blanc almost always fits the bill. But when you have a Sauvignon Blanc like this one that is so pure, straightforward and extremely easy to enjoy, you know you have hit the jackpot. Don't mistake this as simple, because it isn't. It is just very well made and exactly how we enjoy SB. Shepherd Wines, aka Truchard Vineyards, presents a fine California example of this wildly popular grape. Aromas of cooked pear, grapefruit and crisp linen resonate throughout the glass and intensify as the wine begins to warm. Delicious and crisp citrus flavors lead to a zippy and memorable medium acidic finish. Absolutely and easily a daily drinker!

2019 Caprio Cellars Eleanor Estate Red Wine
We were really taken back by the 2018 vintage of this wine and the 2019 doesn't disappoint! This is the 2019 Caprio Cellars Eleanor Estate Red Wine. The wine is a Bordeaux Blend that consists of Cabernet Sauvignon (62%), Merlot (20%), Malbec (12%) and Cabernet Franc (6%). This is not an "in your face" type of wine but rather one with a graceful introduction to blackberry and cherry aromas framed with cedar plank. In the mouth is a glass-like feel with very polished tannin against flavors of plum, blackberry, cherry cordial and baking spices. The closing moments of the wine linger and this young wine will surely continue to provide more depth with some time in the bottle. Simply lovely! 700 cases produced.

2019 Galante Vineyards Almond Flat Pinot Noir
We are excited to be partnering with Jack Galante and his team at Galante Vineyards again and it was a lot of fun to taste this wine. This is the 2019 Galante Vineyards Almond Flat Pinot Noir which is from estate fruit and 100% Pinot. Bright aromas of crushed strawberries and orange zest initially with mushroom and dried herb following closely. Cranberry and strawberry dominate the palate, joined by pleasant but not overpowering earthy and slightly smoky flavors leading to a long finish with modest and welcome tannin. This wine is very young and you will have many years of enjoyment. We tend to crush on wines that are estate-fruit driven and these higher altitude grapes create a memorable tasting experience with this offering. The price is right and this wine would pair very well with a herbal, roasted chicken dinner with carrots. This is absolutely lovely!
