An elegant and seductive perfume of white peach, ginger, and dried sage ascends, leading to a rush of Asian pear, lemon marmalade, and tropical lychee flavors. A layer of crushed chalk minerality and brioche-like toastiness emerges as the wine opens in the glass. Delightfully balanced with a bright and zingy acidity, backed by a rich and full-bodied texture that allows this Sauvignon Blanc to get better with each sip.
The new 2017 Longfellow Cabernet Sauvignon marks the transition from Winemaker Rolando Herrera to Kale Anderson. If you’re a Longfellow Cab lover, this wine marks the transition to the Oakville appellation, and to a more deliberate and serious style. We think you’ll love it.
Intoxicating notes of citrus blossom, pineapple, and lychee aromatics with underlying hints of wet stone minerality. Bright and racy acidity frames the mid-palate with zesty notes of grapefruit, lime zest, and white watermelons. The wine will develop some natural tartrate crystals through aging. Enjoy chilled at 45F and let this unique wine blossom as it warms up in the glass.
A blend of Rhone grapes (Syrah and Grenache) and tribute to the beautifully dark and mysterious Syrah-dominated Northern Rhone blends from Hermitage, France. Deep and inky violet color leads to comapct and focused aromas of elderberry and black fig framed by hints of smoky charcoal. Smooth and supple mouthfeel shows a blast of dark cherry fruit and savory notes of olive, bacon fat, an spicy white pepper. Well-integrated tannins and balance ultimately define this wine, which will only get more elegant over the next 5-10 years. Young and vibrant now, the Cuvee Hermitage should pair wonderfully with barbeque, smoked meats, and pretty much anything cooked on the grill.
“Vibrant and racy aromas of pineapple and other tropical fruits laced with citrus peel and a hint of wet stone. A beautiful and rich mouthfeel with notes of orange blossom and nectarine all framed by lip smacking acidity. A Chardonnay to enjoy now but worthy of several years in the cellar.”
