March Wine Club Release
The March Wine Club Pickup begins this Friday, March 15th and will consist of the following wines:
“Reds Only” Member Selections
2018 Merlot
The 2018 Merlot was grown in one of the warmer years at our site and reflects good fruit but retains great complexity and balance making it a truly age-worthy wine. After 2 years in barrel and three years in the bottle this vintage is showing very well and will continue to improve over the next 10 years.
2018 Harmonie
A blend of 1/3 Cabernet Sauvignon and 2/3 Syrah, Harmonie marries the best of the two component wines. It has the structure of the Cabernet and the savory and fruity characteristics of the Syrah. Like the Merlot, the Harmonie is presenting very well and should continue to age for 10 to 12 more years
“Whites Only” Member Selections
2020 Albarino
This is now the 4th vintage of Albarino made from our estate vines and we learn a little more about selecting the sweet spot for harvesting the grapes and how to coax out the right balance when making the wine that expresses the best balance of fruit and acidity of this grape. This is a wonderful wine to pair with shellfish and other white fleshed fish.
2020 Pinot Gris
Our 2020 Pinot Gris is a fine representation of the popular wine from our site. The citrus, stone fruit and pear flavors with a full body and great acid balance make it such a perfect wine to enjoy with appetizers yet enable the wine to stand up to spicy entrees such as curry or fish tacos.
“Assorted” Member Selections
2020 Albarino
2018 Harmonie
Special Vertical Tasting of Merlot
We will select 3 older vintages of Merlot for Members to taste along with the 2018 Merlot from the 2018 in the current release. This is free to members and $10 to retail customers (for the 3 library vintages).
