July Wine Specials

2016 Pinot Noir Solomon Hills Vineyard, Santa Maria Valley AVA
$46 retail
$34.50/bottle or $386.40/case

Seductive, luscious and luxurious. This robust Pinot features aromatics of bitter-sweet cocoa, coffee and deep forest floor. Underpinnings of ripe red cherry and plum are accented with tones of dried cranberry and red currant on the palate. Balanced tannin creates a rich mouthfeel. A favorite of our cellar master Andre Baltazar, he describes the processing of this wine as “gently shepherding the fruit into its full potential with minimal intervention.” Pair with grilled pork loin, smoked duck or dark chocolate flourless cake.

2016 Goat Bubbles Blanc de Noirs Bien Nacido Vineyard
$65 retail
$48.75/bottle or $546/case

Erupting with lively tiny bubbles, this zesty platinum blonde sparkler greets your nose with floral and white peach aromas. The bright acidity is elegantly complemented by notes of dried fruit. Each of the complex and textured layers of this wine coalesce into a clean and refreshing finish with a hint of juniper berry and tangerine. Consider pairing this with a generous helping of caviar or smoked steelhead salmon. Better yet, treat yourself with a glass (or a bottle) as you indulge in your favorite strawberry cheesecake. Zero dosage!
