CORAVIN POURS
2023 Walt Blue Jay Pinot Noir - Anderson Valley, CA
–––
Pale to medium ruby-purple in color, the Walt Blue Jay Pinot Noir opens with cheery notes of raspberry pie and kirsch with hints of spice cake, lilacs, and fallen leaves. The full-bodied palate delivers intense red fruit preserves flavors with a racy line. The inclusion of roasted stems offers refined tannins and plush texture. The finish is long and savory. g20
2021 Grgich Hills Estates Napa Cabernet Sauvignon- Napa Valley, CA
–––
This wine opens with concentrated aromas expressing characteristics of the famed “Rutherford Dust”. Flavors of red fruit along with blackberry, black currant, and elderberry play into the foreground, with dense tannins enveloping the palate. The midpalate offers lingering undertones of dried herbs, graphite, and citrus that lead to a savory finish of bittersweet chocolate and tobacco. g25
2022 Robert Biale 'Black Chicken' Zinfandel - Napa, CA
–––
Showing the influence of the breezy and fog-laced Oak Knoll District, Black Chicken Zinfandel offers rich, plush fruit, delicate acidity and a structure defined by well-ripened, fine-grained tannins. Layered notes of blackberry preserves, raspberry, violet, cocoa, anise, and cherry wood on the nose. Persistent and full on the palate with flavors of plum, black cherry, baking spices, dried herbs, and pomegranate. g30 b114 *small format (375ml) available - 57
