ZD WINES PINOT NOIR CARNEROS 2022 WINE

Winemaker Notes

This Pinot Noir has a beautiful garnet rose color to the rim of the glass. Aromas of ripe raspberries and fresh-picked strawberries blend with hints of baking spice and black tea notes. The palate is full and lush with mingling flavors of berry jam with just the right amount of toasted oak nuances. Balanced with a bright and lingering finish, this wine is drinking wonderfully now and will age nicely for years to come.

Aromas of red cherry, cinnamon and clove swirl from the glass, joining flavors of fresh herbs and cranberry. Silky, palate-stimulating structure gives balance to the zest and spice of this wine, culminating in a persistent finish.

RouteStock Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

FULL-BODIED, BLACK PLUM, CHOCOLATE, CEDAR, COCOA, OAK

Open and accessible yet quite complex, ‘Route 29’ is brimming with all the best, most classic Napa Cab aromas (mint, cedar, blackberry) and flavors (black plum, chocolate, Italian herbs). Structurally, the acidity nicely balances a supple, rich mouthfeel, and natural grape and oak tannin prolong the satisfying finish.

The deep purple color of the wine extends all the way to the rim of the glass and gives way to an explosive nose that is the essence of Napa Valley, black fruit, dark cocoa, coffee and deep plum. The wine is thick, rich and full on the palate with beautiful balance between fruit, tannin, acidity, oak and alcohol. The flavors of chocolate, blackberry, bay laurel and sweet French oak penetrate the palate and last for minutes. There is strength and power but constrained with bright acidity, fruit and just the right amount of balancing tannin. The wine is savory and chewy as well as bright and vibrant

Seghesio Zinfandel Sonoma

**This best buy from Seghesio is always one of the favorite California Zins year in and out .

*Wine Spectator 2024 Wine Value of the Year!***

93 Points Wine Spectator: "Vivacious and briary, this Zin is generous with personality, offering blackberry, licorice and orange peel accents that zip along the zesty finish. Drink now through 2032.
Wine Enthusiast: "You could use Seghesio as a teaching tool for classic Sonoma County Zinfandel. It's full-bodied, dry and spicy, with briary flavors of wild berries, mocha, tobacco, leather and exotic spices. More importantly, it's absolutely delicious. The grapes come from Seghesio's best vineyards in the Alexander and Dry Creek valleys. An astonishing value."

Peyrassol

La Croix Rosé

Provence

Commanderie de Peyrassol has broadened its offering using fruit from its IGP classified vineyard around the Coudonnier area and completed with sourcings from local partnerships. After destemming and a pneumatic pressing, the wine undergoes a 4-hour cold settling to remove the heavy lees, then is racked into stainless steel tank for the temperature-controlled fermentation. The wine has a short aging on fine lees before light filtration. An accessible blend in the true style of Provençal rosé.

At first sight, the wine displays a pretty pale pink color with bluish highlights. The nose is expressive and enticing, with ripe vineyard peach layered over a fresh bouquet of white flowers. On the palate, a lively, refreshing attack leads into bright citrus notes and a mouth-watering, orange-candy texture, finishing with fine bitters that add savory lift and structure.

Seghesio Chardonnay

Wine Seghesio Chardonnay

Our Chardonnay features inviting notes of white lilies, orange blossom, and lemon peel on the nose. On the palate, the wine has a lively mouthfeel with notes of lemon curd, pear and Meyer lemon balanced by bright acidity and a fresh finish.

Pair with roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes, and a hard aged cheese such as a gouda.

To create a balanced and integrated chardonnay that weaves together multiple regions and vineyards, 15% was fermented and aged in a mix of 50/50 French and American oak barrels for six months, followed by five months in stainless steel. The remainder was fermented and aged in stainless steel to retain the freshness and

vibrant flavors from the cool harvest. Aged sur lie to build mid-palate texture, the components were blended after 10 months and allowed to coalesce before bottling
