SILENT-Fine Wine

• 2016 Broc Cellars Sparkling Chenin Blanc
  A light and bright pet-nat that entices the palate with vibrant peach and nectarine flavors, along with straw and candied lemon peel, and finishes slightly off-dry with a soft, creamy effervescence. A gulpable summer sparkler for rooftop drinking or a perfect pairing with ceviche marinated in lime juice and finely sliced jalapeno pepper and chopped red onions.
• 2015 Broc Cellars Sparkling Cabernet Franc
  Red apple skin aromas mingle with fermented strawberry, dried herbs, and balsamic vinegar flavors. An extremely unique pet-nat that would pair well with meat and pork dishes.
  
  
• 2016 Donkey & Goat Isabel's Cuvee, Grenache Rose
  There is a heady perfumed nose of fresh, crushed strawberries with floral and juicy tangerine notes. This wine dances across the palate like a prima ballerina. Like her, there is a quiet power to this wine in its delicate and perfect balance.
• 2015 Donkey & Goat Grenache Blanc
  Citrus rind, grassy notes and baking spices slowly come together in this deep orange hued wine that boasts a chewy texture from the grippy tannins. The palate comes together with notes of dried orange peel, wet stone and herbaceous notes and a long and lingering finish. 
• 2015 Donkey & Goat Grenache Noir
  Bright, slightly hazy red. Vibrant cherry and pomegranate aromas are complemented by hints of white pepper and a hint of orange zest. Bitter cherry and red berry flavors display very good energy and a silky texture, and the white pepper note repeats strongly. Spicy, focused and lively on the persistent finish, which features subtle tannins and a touch of blood orange.
• 2016 Arnot-Roberts Trousseau
  A blend of three vineyards: Luchsinger Vineyard in Clear Lake, Bartolomei Vineyard in Green Valley, and Bohan Ranch on the Sonoma Coast. These sites were picked separately and the fruit was whole cluster fermented with native yeast. Upon completion of primary the wine was transferred to a mix of barrels and stainless steel and bottled unfined and unfiltered.
• 2016 Arnot-Roberts Gamay Noir
  The 2016 RPM Gamay Noir comes from the Witters and Barsotti vineyards above the town of Placerville in the El Dorado Appellation of the Sierra Foothills. Both vineyards were planted in granitic soils between 2,500 and 3,200 feet elevation. The grapes were harvested between mid August and early September and handled gently upon arrival at the winery. Carbonic maceration was employed and the juice was pressed off the skins at about 10 brix to allow the wine to finish fermenting in tank before being transferred to neutral puncheons and barrels for aging.
