WINE

We co-fermented the Zinfandel with a touch of Petite Sirah to add complexity and structure, and then aged the wine in large oak casks so the flavors are well integrated but not overwhelmed by oak. This food-friendly Zinfandel's flavors of strawberries, red plums, orange zest, and a hint of white pepper make it the perfect match for grilled meats, lasagna, pizza topped with tomato sauce, and beef stews

"This is a lovely Cabernet to drink now and over the next few years. It shows its Oakville pedigree with smooth tannins and dry, complex flavors of blackberry, black currant and cherry, with a fine earthiness."

Guardian Cellars when Jerry started the winery he told his winemaker friends that he planned to bottle age his premium red wines at least 12 months before release, a comment that was met with laughter and disbelief. Now, going into our 10th vintage, we are aging our premium reds more than 20 months on almost completely new French oak and have held true to Jerry's rookie taunt - we cellar each premium red at least one year before release. Being patient is a pain, but it sure does create some delicious wines.

A great option for a warm spring day!

Hahn this deep-ruby Merlot opens with aromas of dark cherry, plum, dried herbs and tea. On the palate, it is dry and full-bodied, with layers of black cur- rant, cherry, bittersweet chocolate and tobacco sup- ported by bright acid and broad tannins. The finish is long and memorable. This wine is delightful when paired with rich and hearty pasta dishes or succulent meats. Try it with grilled beef tenderloin and wild mushroom ragout, or with bold Italian pasta slathered in a meaty tomato- based sauce.

Hahn The Hahn Winery Pinot Noir comes out of the gate with aromas of fresh mixed berries and dark cherries leading to hints of lavender, violets and a touch of cassis. This is an exceptionally balanced wine with good acidity whose flavors are given structure by a light touch of caramelized oak. This versatile wine stands alone well but would be a perfect partner to a variety of fish, poultry or pasta dishes. Try it with risotto with shellfish, wild mushrooms and pancetta, roast five-spice duck with mango chutney or a traditional pairing of grilled salmon with Pinot Noir pan sauce and garlic mashed potatoes.

Hahn has exotic notes of pineapple and coconut leads the aroma of this wine with a distinct undercurrent of green apple. At first taste, a luscious blend of mango and cream come to mind, while still maintaining a light feel on the palate. A clean finish leaves the slightest hint of sweet butter and vanilla. Grown entirely in the Santa Lucia Highlands of Monterey, this wine is an elegant balance of winemaking skill and the unique quality of this area.

Hahn this Pinot Noir offers soft tannins, delicious plum and cherry aromas and flavors, a hint of allspice and an underpinning of the earth itself. Without a doubt, its defining feature is its irresistibly silky, velvety texture.

Sayuri means “a little lily” in Japanese and contains strong connotations of delicacy, innocence and chastity. Sayuri sake, produced by Hakutsuru Sake Brewing Co., Ltd., lives up to the delicacy evoked by its name with slightly sweet, floral flavors. This product of Japan, like all nigori sakes, is a cloudy liquid. Completing Sayuri's understated image is its unassumingly feminine and faint pink bottle. The drink is light and smooth to swallow; possessing a slight degree of thickness because of its production’s coarse filtering process. Delightfully, there is hardly any after taste. Since this is so refreshing and approachable to drink, be careful not to drink too much! Sayuri is best served chilled and makes an excellent drink with spicy food because of its mild, understated flavors. Not only that, this sake goes well with desserts like dark chocolate brownies.

Our HALL Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is brimming with aromas of cassis, black cherry and espresso.

Jammy fruit from beginning to end—starting with aromas of blueberry pie, nutmeg and pepper. In the mouth, flavors expand to include boysenberry, plum, blueberry and spice. This full bodied wine has a bold tannin structure and balanced acidity that lead to a long finish. This big wine is anything but “petite."

Harveys Bristol Cream features flavors of roasted nuts and raisins, with a subtly spicy finish. Harveys Bristol Cream is usually served well chilled as an aperitif, as an after-dinner drink straight, or on the rocks with a wedge of lime or slice of orange. The ice lessens the viscosity and the citrus lowers the sweetness to create a refreshing drink. As a dessert wine, serve with cheesecake, flan, bread pudding or crème brulée.

Hedges light straw color. Aromas of pear, grapefruit peel, wet straw and gooseberry with hints of custard and asparagus. Crisp acidity is apparent on the entry and finish but is balanced by fruit sweetness and a relatively rich and viscous mouthfeel on the mid-palate. The gooseberry and wet straw are evident throughout tasting. the finish is long but invites you to take another drink. A wonderfully complex and inviting Sauvignon Blanc. It is excellent by itself of with shellfish and lighter seafood.

Hedges deep purple color, yet not opaque. A sense of finesse in the color which suggests liveliness on the palate. The mouth feel is angular, with grace and precision. The vintage produced a savory character in the wines, like that of fennel, salt, tar and steel. Highly integrated tannins, dusty in a sense, alongside protective acidity guarding against premature oxidation.

Herencia Altés bright crimson in colour, this wine is very expressive with notes of red fruits and minerals that leap from the glass. Plenty of fruit on the palate, a touch of complexity and sweet tannins. Pairs well with grilled meats, cabrito and lamb.

Hewitt Vineyard with intense layers of dark fruit, bittersweet chocolate, black licorice, clove spice, mineral and cedar, this is one of Napa Valley's most voluptuous Cabernet Sauvignons. The palate is rich and complex, packed with sweet black cherry, plum and blackberry character that tones down the muscular entry. Malted cocoa powder tannins (classic Rutherford Dust) frame the expansive flavors, enhancing the wine's plush, opulent texture. The elegant, fruit-imbued finish lingers with espresso, toffee and nutmeg. Pair this wine with rich, robust meals, like seared beef tenderloin with shiitake mushroom sauce.
