"CRU Merlot." The first step in creating this cru merlot is meticulously selecting the best merlot grapes from the vineyards. After the harvest, the grapes are destemmed and soft-crushed before undergoing maceration for roughly 15 days. During this two-week period of skin contact, the wine undergoes fermentation. Following fermentation, the wine is then transferred into new French oak barrique, where it ages and matures for 24 months.
DESCRIPTION
These Merlot grapes produce an incredibly intense reddish purple hue. A rich and complex bouquet submerges the drinker with notes of cherry, cocoa and leather. The long and soothing finish completes the wine's well-founded structure. The vines are gently maintained under the Guyot method. Experienced workers vigilantly trim the vineyards by hand in order in eliminate non-productive vine stock and prepare the new production. In order to achieve the finest wine possible, they employ green harvesting techniques. The green harvesting technique has a significant impact on increasing the concentration of these grapes, creating a richer and longer-lived product. The harvest is exclusively made by hand every August and September, only using grapes from the property. The dedication to quality and care is emphasized as experienced workers carefully select only the healthiest plants, avoiding any that could cause a detriment to the overall product. The philosophy leads to very low yields and an average production of one bottle of wine per plant. This is a remarkable bottle of wine - and drinks like it cost double the price. Please try it on Friday - 10% off on case purchases. Villamedoro Chimera - $23 
This is a racy, full-bodied white with a pretty core of tropical fruit, jasmine and spices to enjoy now and over the next year. The use of French oak adds an additional layer of volume and depth. Rated 92 Points by Wine Enthusiast this is a wine that really stands out against everything else in its class. We like to serve it cold - pulled from a bucket of ice cold. It has a remarkable clean finish that make short work of grilled fish, tomato salads with EVOO and crumbled cheese. You will absolutely want to try this with the cheese we are sampling on Friday night.  Riff Pinot Grigio - $12 - Rated 90 Points 
The Riff Pinot Grigio delle Venezia is one of the best pinot grigio wines from Italy that we have ever tasted. Produced by the legendary winemaker Alois Lageder in Northern Italy, riff Pinot Grigio benefits from extended "sur-lie" maturation during fermentation giving the wine greater intensity and depth than the usual class of Pinot Grigio's at this price point. WINEMAKER: "Made completely in stainless steel, the Riff is absolutely lovely, very fresh and crisp, with a hint of spritz. It's like drinking liquid limestone and shale that are permeated by roasted lemon and lime peel, crushed jasmine, camellia and almond blossom, with a touch of almond." The texture is dense, almost talc-like, and the finish comes close to smacky in the power of its packed-in spice, yet the wine never loses its sense of delicacy and appeal. "This is an exceptional Pinot Grigio with all the crispness that you want! Very refreshing with nice citrus and tropical fruit flavors." ···· Give us a call if you have any other questions The Lines Are Open: 8 6 0 - 4 4 3 - 6 8 1 7 8 6 0 - 4 4 3 - 9 4 6 3 Please pass this information along to your friends, it will help us to get the word out to everybody.
