This week’s wine tasting
\n<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Blanco Nieva verdejo \u201914 \u00a0 Spain $15<\/strong>
\nFrom 100 year-old vines, this beautiful white shows mineral-driven lime, quince and floral scents with notes of anise and mint. Graceful, focused and pure, with zesty lemon\/lime and pear flavors.<\/em><\/p>\n

Septima Malbec \u201913\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Argentina\u00a0\u00a0 $9<\/strong>
\nMusky, ripe aromas of currants, leather, chocolate and espresso. Supple and generous flavors of\u00a0 sweet currant and tobacco flavors with a note of pepper, soft tannins and good length.<\/em><\/p>\n

Robert Ramsay Mason’s Red ’13\u00a0\u00a0 Washington\u00a0 $16<\/strong>
\nEasy-drinking cinsault-dominant Rhone blend; subtle nose of black cherry paste with a hint of cinnamon spice that expands on the palate to a soft anise finish.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tarima Hill Monastrell \u201911 Spain 91pts $13<\/strong>
\nComplex, perfumed scents of dark berry liqueur, cola, incense and smoky oak spices. Plush and expansive, with sweet cherry compote and blueberry flavors with notes of floral pastille and bitter chocolate. Rich and lively, finishing with excellent power, smooth tannins and a late jolt of allspice. <\/em><\/p>\n

Winderlea Juliard Vineyard Pinot Noir ’13 Oregon $48<\/strong>
\nIntoxicating aromas of rose petal and lavender lead to a structured palate of black cherry and cranberry, with delicate notes of citrus and orange blossom. Hypnotically and mesmerizingly delicious– a perfect illustration of why we love wine!
