Current Wine club Selection Tasting Notes
May 2023 JEds Reds
Stone Table Red
Our red table wine is a fabulous blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% each of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Merlot. Rich and vibrant with a nose full of jam and red fruits, the broad mouthfeel leads to grippy but not overwhelming tannins.
2019 Napa Valley Merlot
This rich wine is sourced from Atlas Peak in Napa Valley. In 2019, we dodged the fires and harvested a gorgeous crop of Merlot. Rich, inky dark, packed with earthy dark fruit nuances, this is not a Merlot for the faint of heart. As we near the last of this fine vintage, we wanted to share it with you before it is gone.
2019 Zinfandel
We continue to source our Zinfandel from a meticulous vineyard just south of Lodi. This smooth as silk wine was aged for 2 years in a barrel and the results are lush. Rich heady aromas of smoked wood, spice and jam are in this complex and rustic, but still soft wine.
July 2023 Grape Nuts
2022 Lodi Albarino
This is a new offering from us of an ancient Spanish white varietal grown in the rich soils of Lodi, California. Some of the oldest vines in the world are Albarino. This mid-weight white is fresh with mouth-watering acidity. Aged in stainless steel and bottled quickly to maintain its vibrancy. Aromas of stone fruit and honey with a long lingering finish. Pair with local seafood dishes and lighter meats.
Enjoy now or age for up to 1 year.
2021 Lodi Primitivo Rosé
Our partnership with the Lerner family, long-time Lodi growers, continues to pay dividends. This Rosé is made from the Primitivo grape, a relative of Zinfandel. Floral and fresh strawberries bounce out of this mid-weight, refreshing wine.
Enjoy now or age for 1-2 years.
2020 Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon
Our Cabernet Sauvignon continues to hail from the Paskett Ranch. This vintage is extremely robust with a deep rich color, aromas of dark cherry and fresh earth and a long finish packed with dark chocolate flavors. 2 1/2 years of barrel aging hold up the fruit and integrate their toasty flavors throughout.
Enjoy now or age for up to 10 years.
