|
ARGENTINE TORRONTÉS REGION Cafayate Valley, Salta, Argentina Surrounded by mountain ranges, an average height of 1,700m above sea level, grapes grown in the Cafayate valley benefit from more than 300 sunny days a year and low-humidity mild weather. WINE This wine’s enticing aromas are strikingly similar to Viognier: hints of peach pit, flowers, and orange citrus fruit. On the palate it has a lush structure and vibrant acidity—and plenty of body for a wine that shows such delicate aromas and flavors. Fruity and floral this wine is still quite dry. Best enjoyed either by itself, or as a wonderful partner with smoked meats, mild to medium-strong cheeses, and seafood. AGING This wine will begin to show very well early on, peaking between 6 and 12 months and holding for another 6 to 12 in a good cellar. SWEETNESS: Dry BODY: Medium ALCOHOL: 12.5%* *Alcohol level based on following Winexpert winemaking instructions. |

PORTUGUESE ARAGONES CABERNET SAUVIGNON REGION Vinho Mountains of Northern Portugal The Vinho Mountains of Northern Portugal overlook the broad, stormy waters of the Atlantic Ocean, capturing both the heat of the continent and the gentle, cool breezes that pass over them. Here, Aragnones reaches its full potential at a high degree of maturity, delivering deep, intense grapes. Cabernet Sauvignon also thrives here, delivering surprisingly classic character. WINE The wine has an aromatic profile of mulberry, blackberry currants, black cherry and cedar—and in time, a hint of rockrose and spice. In the mouth it offers cherry and raspberry, blackberry and plum, with a hint of tobacco competing with the cedar notes, along with subtle vanilla and toast. Brilliant with lamb, duck, barbecue and aged cheeses, it’s also an excellent wine for sipping on a summer patio by itself. AGING Aragnones matures early, making this tempting to drink under six months of age, but a year of patience will be well rewarded with more subtle fruit and developed cedar/spices notes; it will hold well for another two years. SWEETNESS: Dry BODY: Medium Full ALCOHOL: 13.5%* *Alcohol level based on following Winexpert winemaking instructions |

WASHINGTON RIESLING CHENIN BLANC REGION Dufault Vineyard, Yakima Valley, Washington, U.S.A. From Dufault Vineyard in the lower Yakima Valley of Washington state, this wine comes out of sandy-loam soil that runs down an extremely long south slope, ending in a drop to the Yakima river that allows for perfect air drainage. Hot, late-season sunshine and cool, breezy nights combine to make balanced, flavorful grapes. WINE Riesling gives boldly classic apple and stone fruit aromas, while Chenin Blanc provides more subtle melon and honey notes. On the palate it shows apricot, peach, green apple, quince and honey, with zesty acidity offset by a creamy mouthfeel and perfectly balanced richness. An excellent food wine, it matches well with grilled chicken, pork, and seafood, but it’s also an excellent sipper on its own--juicy, thirst-quenching and delicious. AGING Barely off-dry, this wine will be tempting to drink right on bottling day, but will show surprising flavor development over the course of a year, and will hold for two more years in a good cellar. SWEETNESS: Off Dry BODY: Medium ALCOHOL: 12%* *Alcohol level based on following Winexpert winemaking instructions. |

ITALIAN
NEBBIOLO WITH
GRAPE SKINS REGION Ghiardello Vineyard, Reggio Emilia, Italy From the Ghiardello vineyard in Reggio Emilia, in the foothills of the DOC Colli di Scandiano, Nebbiolo is a late ripener and produces wine of excellent acidity and high tannins. WINE This is a wine of rare subtlety. Redolent with aromas of tar, rose, mint, chocolate, licorice and truffles, and rich, spicy fruit. Hints of cherries, violets, black licorice, and truffles play on the tongue with long-lasting flavor and a rich, chewy finish. Serve with red meats, stews, lamb shanks or osso buco. AGING This gripping wine will begin to open up after six months, but the richer, more intense flavours will take at least eighteen months to show, with cherry and spicy dominating the long, fruity finish for five years or more. SWEETNESS: Dry BODY: Medium Full ALCOHOL: 13.5%* *Alcohol level based on following Winexpert winemaking instructions. |
