wine of the week
J. Lohr Wildflower Valdiguié
Made from Valdiguié, an uncommon grape from southern France. Its light body makes for a good chillable red perfect for the heat wave we're having (at the time of this writing).
Unshackled Chardonnay
On the nose, notes of sweet cream, juicy white peach, green apple, and a hint of minerality are accented by brown spice and vanilla. The mouthfeel is round and smooth but balanced by bright acidity with hints of stone fruit and honey make for an elegant and perfectly ripened chardonnay from the Central Coast.
Fleurs de Prairie Rosé
A pale salmon color, with delicate flavors of red fruit and lemon, and a subtle note of tropical fruits on the finish. Its bright, refreshing acidity makes it a perfect companion with a meal or as an aperitif.
M. Chapoutier Belleruche CDR Blanc
The blend is 60% Roussanne, 20% Viognier, and the rest Grenache Blanc and Clairette.
Rubus Shiraz
The Rubus Project was created by Fran Kysela as a way to source & sell incredible wines at value prices. All wines in this international project are hand-selected by Fran Kysela. Rubus wines are fruit driven, true-to-type values that over deliver - a true representation of quality for the consumer at an excellent price.
Ferrari-Carano Chardonnay
This wine is rich and round, opening with aromas of apricot, mango, Meyer lemon, vanilla, and toasted marshmallow. The palate shows incredible depth with a full mouthfeel and layers of flavor. Peach cobbler, citrus, orange blossom, and butterscotch finish with lingering notes of toasted hazelnut.
Trimbach Pinot Blanc
Pale yellow color with green reflections. Concentrated aromas of white flowers and apricots. Smooth, medium-bodied with crisp acidity.
