November 20^th wine tasting

La Cour Du Prieure Bordeaux (France) This classic Bordeaux is soft and plush with aromas of flowers, spices, chocolate, vanilla, and roasted aromas. It is supple, firm, and rich with blackberry and black cherry notes. The finish is complex and long. A great pairing with cured meats, duck, stews and firm cheeses. 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. $17.99

Riva Rose’ Brut (France) Notes of raspberry and sweet spice, characteristic of the Syrah variety,
combined with a hint of grapefruit… $13.99

Escudo Rojo Sauvignon Blanc (Chili) The nose opens on powerful citrus fruit aromas, followed on airing by delicate notes of white blossom and tropical fruit. The refined and fresh attack reveals subtle notes of white blossom and guava, leading into an intense and dense midpalate marked by an explosion of citrus fruit flavors recalling the aromas found on the nose. White blossom flavors return on the elegantly mineral finish. $16.99

Lopez De Haro Rioja Reserva (Spain) Medium-high depth wine. Powerful on the nose with primary aromas of ripe fruit accompanied by complex spicy and balsamic notes and a slight touch of vanilla. Balanced on the palate, it is a round and unctuous wine with ripe and sweet tannins, providing the wine with a long aftertaste: and elegant Rioja classic. $14.99
