Amarone della Valpolicella |
This Amarone greets the senses with inviting aromas of warmed plums, black cherries, sweet spice, violets and tobacco leaves. On the well-balanced palate, lush fruit harmonizes with vibrant acidity, while savory and earthy elements add depth and nuance, finishing with elegant tannins. |

Le Cadeau |
Pinot Noir 'Merci Reserve' Chehalem Mountains |
Potent aromas of Morello cherries and dark chocolate eventually yield some air space to notes of espresso, leather and cedar. Rich flavors like dark cherries and fig jam feel at home on a soft, smooth texture. Acidity is just enough to keep things lively, with silky tannins and a moderately long finish. |

Two Hands |
Shiraz 'Lily’s Garden' McLaren Vale |
There’s a lovely combo of scrubby fresh herbs like thyme and sage with tart red and black currant and plum, with toasty vanilla oak influence. The mouthfeel is powerful with silky, succulent berry fruit and lifted acidity to keep it from jam territory. A modern style for drinking now or until around 2030. |

Tequila Blanco |
Clear color. Aromas and flavors of lime and sea salt, black pepper, baked pear, and plantain chips with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and a warming, delightful, medium-length finish revealing notes of lime, pepper, salt and honeycomb, and baked apple and grapes. An excellent all purpose Blanco with enough flavor and character to sip. Gold Medal. |
