On Tap in the WineStation
- NV Clautiere "2 Cocky Sisters" Red Blend
The 2 Cocky Sisters has an upfront black cherry, red raspberry and spiced plum with beautifully accented tannins that round out the finish. Close
- 2006 Eugene Wine Cellars "b2" Pinot Noir
This rich, full bodied pinot is well-balanced, acid-to-fruit, with a lovely tannin structure flowing cherry,
raspberry, pomegranate, plum and tobacco flavors.
Serve this b2 wine with salmon, lamb, pork, and beef.Close - 2006 BV Tapestry
93 points Robert Parker: "The 2006 Proprietary Red Wine Tapestry Reserve (a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot) is the finest example of this cuvee I have ever tasted. Flowery, licorice-infused, cassis notes intermixed with forest floor and lead pencil shavings are followed by a layered, impressively built wine with real opulence, lots of red and black fruits, low acidity, and lush tannin. It should drink well for 15+ years. " Close
- 2007 Montes "Folly" Syrah
An intense black and maroon core is surrounded by a brighter fuchsia rim with pink highlights. Sweet lush blackberry and black cherry aromas are accented by spicy white pepper and a touch of milk chocolate. The fruit is dark and sweet on the palate. Round and medium to full bodied on the mid palate, the wine finishes full with rich, spicy fruits with light tar notes.Close
- 2008 Kali Hart Chardonnay
This Chardonnay is light straw in color with a youthful greenish hue and excellent clarity. The rich, inviting nose shows bright tropical fruit notes. This vibrant tropical fruit continues on the palate with flavors of pineapple and honeydew melon, complemented by refreshing acidity. A generous mid-palate gives way to a bright focused finish with citrus elements of lemon and tangerine and mineral notes.Close
- 2009 X Winery White
Bright citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit open on an enticing, fresh nose. The palate continues with fruit flavors of apricot, peach and orange blossom. Crisp acidity from the Sauvignon Blanc and AlbariƱo is complemented by luscious tropical fruit and a hint of honey from the Chardonnay creating a well balanced white wine.
Try this wine with a citrusy ceviche, grilled shrimp drizzled with a garlic and lemon sauce or even a glazed pork chop. Close - 2007 Hunter's Sauvignon Blanc
This classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc shows a mixture of citrus, capsicum and ripe tropical fruit aromas. These aromas carry on to the palate which is crisp, multi-layered and has a lingering finish. Close
- 2007 Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt Riesling Kabinett
This is unevolved, revealing hints of floral and black currant aromas and flavors, but also yeast and carbonic gas elements. Yet it's vibrant and juicy, with a lingering finish.Close
