Wine & Winery Tasting

Item Description

2 bottles 2013 Canihan Pinot

Today’s Canihan 2013 Sonoma County Pinot Noir hails from what was widely recognized as one of the best vintages on record for Sonoma Pinot Noir.

This Pinot Noir is velvet smooth and rich of flavor, with aromas that’ll keep your nose glued to your goblet.

We’ve been featuring the wines of Bill Canihan for the last 7 years, and we’ve always been very impressed. Today’s wine ranks as Bill Canihan’s most elegant wine that we’ve yet to feature.

This Pinot is super soft on entry and ultra delicious with flavors that transport to the far corners of the palate - where they linger for a very long time.

Lush and full on the nose, bursting with fresh cherry juice followed by raspberry, strawberry, dried violet, dried orange peel, subtle spice, river rock and a touch of sweet oak.

Dark and very flavorful on the palate, with cherry compote, black cherry preserve, blackberry, and red currant. These are closely followed by dark chocolate, subtle dark spice and a hint of cedar.

2 bottles 2014 Exuberance Syrah

Exuberance describes our emotions upon learning that our first vintage of Syrah was judged by 47 judges to be the best red wine from more than 4,300 wines in the 2007 San Francisco International Wine Competition (www.sfwinecomp.com). We feel that great wines originate in the vineyard, and that the cool climate of our Sonoma Valley organic & dry-farmed vineyard results in an exceptionally elegant Syrah. Back-to-back Gold & Double Gold medals have proven that our unique terroir, meticulous organic farming practices, and minimalist winemaking philosophy result in exceptional wines. VINEYARD NOTES: Located on the border of the Sonoma Valley and Los Carneros appellations, planted in 1998 with FPMS Clone 1 on SO4 and 101-14 rootstock, this 3.4-acre vineyard produces a cool-climate Syrah. Ned Hill's dry-farming, pruning techniques and biodynamic vineyard management practices result in low yields of less than 1.5 tons per acre. The vineyard is certified organic by CCOF.
