Renwood 2010 Premier Old Vine Zinfandel - $18
The 2013 Los Angeles International Wine Competition Gold Medal Winner
94 Points and Best of Class
This wine has a nose of exotic spices and dried fruits. This classic old vine character also exhibits notes of lavender. On the palate, full in body and very ripe, the dark fruit on the first taste melds into mildly spicy fruit with a hint of roasted coffee towards the end. Overall, this dusty and bold wine offers ample flavor.

CLARIONRated 90 Points - TanzerA deep and concentrated wine with mature fruit on the nose and hints of cherry and oak.
"Clarion" is Renwood's new red blend, comprised of 75% Zinfandel and 25% Syrah. This is a deep and concentrated wine, with mature fruit on the nose and hints of cherry and oak. On the palate, very juicy with a meaty fruit entry and intensely concentrated and pronounced red fruit flavors. A touch of rose petal and bright white pepper spice in the mid-palate offers complexity.

Duche de Longueville - $9 "Muscadet" Off-Dry Sparkling Cider NV (Normandy, France)Delicious, all natural with no additives, and perfect for the season. Duche de Longueville in Normandy, France opened in 1925 as a distillery, but switched to cider production in 1950.
Their orchards have grown and today they grow fifteen different apple varieties. They have gained a reputation of being the only French company specializing in naturally-fermented ciders. No additional ingredients are present - even the "sparkle" occurs naturally during fermentation.
The Muscadet de Dieppe apple variety is small and has a red-orange color. It is excellent for cider because of its sweet and aromatic characteristics. The resulting cider is fresh, crisp, and bursting with delicate apple flavors. It's an excellent addition for Thanksgiving or your holiday party!
