Tasting Menu
CODORNÍU
Brut Pinot Noir Cava NV
Smoke and earth aromas give way to berry fruit in this subtle, elegant cava. Though not as overtly fruity as other rosés, it shows grace and harmony.

DOMAINE LAURIER
Sparkling Wine
A fruity, aperitif-style sparkler that drinks beautifully.

BELL
Syrah
Our 2005 Syrah exhibits wonderful varietal character. Deep ruby in color with spicy, peppery fruit aromas, the wine has good acidity, with a rich, luscious mouthfeel and soft, elegant tannins. The oak flavors are in balance with the fruit acidity and fruit flavor to yield an appealing wine, bright on the palate, with great depth and concentration. Often described by our guests as “yummy,” this delicious wine is a nice alternative for those seeking a rich, round, wellbalanced yet softer style wine. A great companion to food, this wine will continue to mature gracefully for many years. Richly flavored and with great concentration, this wine illustrates the great potential of the Canterbury Vineyard.

RANCHO SISQUOC
River Red
Deep rich flavor with a slight touch of berry in the finish.
