GEWÜRZTRAMINER
Hyland 2019 Old Vine Single Vineyard Gewürztraminer, McMinnville: Sourced from the Hyland Vineyard, this bone-dry and intensely fragrant take on the grape is exceptional in every way. Scents of clover, mint, and body powder lead into a varietally true wine with nothing cloying about the deep, rich flavors of Meyer lemon, peach, and papaya. It’s full bodied, flavorful, and complex.

CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Highway 12 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma Valley: The 2017 release showcases when depth, strength, and elegance meet. Blended with 8% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot, the wine was aged in French oak and showcases cedar overtones supported by the round mid-palate body and tingly tannins on the edge of the finish. Entry exhibits soft earth tones on the nose with hints of cherry, blueberry, and vanilla-oak softness. Medium to full-bodied, the wine reveals wonderful fruit ripeness supported by richness and a slightly chewy core.
Sale Price – $14.00
Cataclysm 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, WA: Raspberry tart, tangerine zest, and herb aromas jump out of the glass. Behind them are notes of dried herbs and rose hips. The flavors are tangy and fruit-forward. There’s enjoyment in the purity of it all.
