Wine Tasting on March 20th 6pm at Sopranos

Description

1-Protea 2022 Chenin Blanc Coastal Region South Africa
Appealing stonefruit aromas with a gentle lemon zest edge. The palate is appropriately fruity with more nectarine, apricot, quince and touch of ripe honeyed sweetness to balance the vibrant, fresh acidity. Succulent and refreshing with a tasty citrus pith note that lends texture. Long finish.

2-Terlato Family Vineyards 2023 Pinot Grigio Colli Orientali del Friuli Italy
The 2023 Pinot Grigio is a total pleasure on the nose, blending crushed almonds with white flowers, wet stone and freshly sliced nectarines. It’s soft and round with a stimulating core of acidity to balance. A sour lime tinge nicely offsets ripe orchard fruits. The 2023 leaves a mineral note lingering, finishing crisp, refreshing and with medium length.

3-Austin 2022 Chardonnay Paso Robles California
A beautiful golden hue anticipates bright tropical notes on the nose. This wine shows riper warm-climate qualities that are harmoniously balanced with the brisk acidity and lemon zest notes of the cool-climate fruit. The entry is clean and fresh, gaining midpalate weight with layered tropical and honeydew flavors, all finishing with a crisp flourish. A wine that begs for another sip.

4-Seghesio 2023 Zinfandel Sonoma County
With a bouquet of cedar, spice, and sun-ripened blackberries, our Sonoma Zinfandel makes a strong first impression. Bold and richly textured on the palate with an intensity and purity of fruit reflected in notes of wild blueberries, plum, and black currants. A light dusting of tannins provides structure and a long finish that is buoyed by fresh juicy acidity.

5-Tapestry 2022 Red Blend Paso Robles California
Lush and lovely aromas of black cherry, cassis, cola and milk chocolate draw the nose into this blend from the Beaulieu Vineyard team. Blueberry and blackberry flavors are mixed with vanilla, caramel and chai on the somewhat formulaic yet still satisfying palate.

6-Mettler Family Vineyards 2021 Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon Lodi California
This wine is deep, hues of garnet magenta with aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, dried chicory, violet and cracked white pepper. The flavors on the palate are bramble black cherry, black plum, molasses, woven with dried tobacco leaf, mocha, vanilla spice and a long supple finish.
