Selection Estate Series Wine Kits

WHITE

WASHINGTON COLUMBIA VALLEY RIESLING $138.95
Delicate yet complex, Rieslings grown here offer pronounced ripeness while retaining acidity, showing fantastic floral aromas and flavors of peach and apricot, while maintaining a crisp freshness.


SONOMA DRY CREEK VALLEY UNWOODED CHARDONNAY $138.95
A fresh, well-balanced wine with typical Chardonnay
characteristics of tropical citrus aromas and flavors. Undimmed by oak, the fruit quality of these grapes is allowed to come through, and the rich, round mouthfeel lingers to a long, crisp finish.


OREGON YAMHILL COUNTY PINOT GRIS $138.95 (discontinued)
Pinot Gris is a mutation of the famous red grape, Pinot Noir. The grapes range in color from grayish-blue to light pink, making fabulous white wines that are lush and softly perfumed yet have more body than other whites. This is a delicately balanced white with 'fat' mouth-filling texture leading to aromas of honey and apples.


NEW ZEALAND MARLBOROUGH SAUVIGNON BLANC $162.95
A complex white wine with beguiling aromas of gooseberry, herbs, pink grapefruit, fresh-cut grass, asparagus, lime-leaf, tropical fruit, and passion fruit. Long, rich flavors, redolent with grass and currant leaves, and a crisp dry finish. Serve with oysters, scallops, salmon, spicy food (Hunan Chinese is spectacular!), asparagus, herbed roast chicken and crab.


RED

LODI OLD VINES ZINFANDEL $149.95
Deep and rich with bold, zesty aromas and ripe berry fruit flavor. Robust and exciting, it bursts with a spiciness that is met head on by the premium French oak. Recommended aging of 4 months.


WASHINGTON COLUMBIA VALLEY CABERNET FRANC/MERLOT $149.95
The nose of this wine holds an intense aroma of plum, black cherries, and vanilla with an underlying hint of pepper and spice. Fruit flavors of plum and currant blended with the silk-smooth taste of chocolate and firm tannins give this medium-bodied red wine a pleasant finish.

NAPA VALLEY STAG'S LEAP DISTRICT MERLOT $149.95
Harvested from the highly regarded Stag's Leap District on the valley's east bench, this Merlot is dry and medium-bodied with a soft, supple, fruity palate of plums and red berries. Its characteristic spicy aroma, accented with light oak, leads a rich, smooth and mouth-filling flavor experience.


OREGON YAMHILL COUNTY PINOT NOIR $149.95
