Winery Notes:

This beautifully aromatic expression of Merlot draws you in with aromas of black cherry, plum, fresh herbs and anise, as well as oak-inspired hints of roasted coffee, clove, vanilla and cedar. On the palate, gentle tannins and toned acidity frame the lush, concentrated flavors of red currant and cassis, all of which glide to a long and generous ripe fruit and spice finish.

With a brawny build of sweet tannin and powerful red fruit, this is a mountain-grown red, made by the producer since the 1970s. With small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Cab Franc and Petit Verdot, it showcases the variety’s herbaceous qualities while featuring a lasting richness and spicy oak.

Bocelli Extra Dry Prosecco

Winery Notes: Made from the Prosecco grape that is indigenous to the Veneto region, this sparkling wine has subtle flower and fruit aromas that make the palate deliciously light and playful. Unlike many Champagnes, it is not harsh–rather, it tickles the throat with a peachy softness, and is flecked with minerality that remains simple in the best of ways. Perfect perlage make it the ideal choice for any occasion.

Our latest baby is a distinctive blend of six grapes – 43% cabernet sauvignon 25% merlot 11% syrah 10% petit verdot 7% cabernet franc and 4% malbec. The backbone of course is a blue rock hallmark cabernet sauvignon. Merlot brings sweetness and silky tannins while cabernet franc provides complex aromatics. Petit verdot and syrah round out the palate with warm black fruit flavors. The blend may change with each vintage but the goal is always the same – to produce a wine that is delicious and accessible with velvety tannins an enticing aroma – a wine that is balanced with a lengthy finish.

Bollinger La Grande Année Champagne 2012

Winemaker Notes : At Bollinger, only very high quality harvests become a vintage: in 2012, the remarkable maturity of the grapes combined with a phenomenal acidity have produced a wine of infinite depth and allowed an exceptional vintage to be created. The delicate color and golden hues are a sign of the wine’s maturity and Bollinger’s wine-making methods. A wonderful aromatic depth. The wine’s fruity, spicy and floral notes intertwine to reveal a highly complex nose; wild peach, plum and orange peel precede saffron and tonka bean, complemented by a fresh, mineral aspect. Dense and harmonious in the mouth. A creamy effervescence and fresh structure, with a gentle saline finish. La Grande Année is the perfect champagne for gourmet food, such as seared scallops, scallops tartare, chicken in a light creamy sauce or grilled lobster.
