2012 BUTTER Chardonnay by JaM Cellars

Chardonnay wines are naturally dry to medium dry with pear, apple, and tropical or citrus fruit flavors. When little to no oak aging occurs, Chardonnay tends to be more crisp and fresh. With extensive oak aging, they become creamy and buttery with vanilla, spice and oak flavors.

Delivering on its name, BUTTER Chardonnay has

incredible creaminess on the palate, smooth oak nuances and a fabulous finish. Delicate aromas of baked lemons and mandarin oranges mingle with a hint of spice and smoke. The palate begins with crisp pineapple, bright citrus and ripe melon while a soft creaminess rounds out the finish. Double fermentation gives it such a "buttery" flavor.

2011 JaM Cellars Red Wine

A touch of residual sugar in this wine pushes the limits of fruitiness--
hence the name JaM, which is also short for John and Michele Truchard,
the owners of JaM Cellars.

Dark, dense and creamy with complex aromas of black plum,
ripe cherry and pepper merging with tobacco, coffee and dark chocolate.
On the palate there is an explosion of dark, super ripe wild blackberry
with just a hint of cigar box and exotic spice. A pure fruit bomb,
complete from the beginning to the long, lingering finish.

Calera 2012 Central Coast Pinot Noir

The bouquet of Calera 2012 Central Coast Pinot Noir is enticing; aromas of deep, dark berry spice and violets that hint at the depth of this delightful wine. Juicy black currant, plum and cherry cola flavors accent the round texture, gentle structure and soft oak undertones. This wine is extremely flavorful--its beautiful texture with fine-grained tannins and a soft, round, easy drinking mouth feel lingers on--leaving you wanting another taste.

Calera Wine Company's history goes back more than 30 years, to when Josh Jensen fell in love with the wines of Burgundy and decided to turn that love into his life's work. Rather than follow the recommended path, Jensen became a pioneer in search of the perfect spot on the globe to grow grapes. Taking his cue from the great domaines of Burgundy which have grown grapes in limestone soil for centuries, he set out in search of the perfect spot in California to create wines unique to the world but in the style of the greatest wines of France. He chose to plant on the site of an old limekiln in the Gavilan Mountains of California ("calera" is Spanish for "limekiln"). Limestone had been commercially quarried from the property 100 years earlier, as evidenced by the existence of a recently restored 30 foot tall masonry calera, the symbol and logo of Calera Wine Company.

Today Calera wines still express that pioneer spirit and are revered the world over. Even renowned wine critic Robert Parker is convinced: "Calera is one of the most compelling Pinot Noir specialists of not only the New World, but of Planet Earth."
