We tasted the gewurztraminer, the fume Blanc, viogner, all three pinot noirs, the Siena red blend, the Zin, and the cabernet sauvignon. The cab was a traditional style, earthy. The Zin was good, but so were all the other zins from other wineries we went to.
The Siena was a red blend made mostly of sangiovese, with malbec, cab, and petite sirah, and it was very good. Light Tuscan style wine with soft tannins, not too heavy on the finish. We got this. Recommend to be paired with fruit, chicken, duck, and tomato based sauces.
We also got the fume Blanc. This wine has aromas of pineapple, grapefruit, peach, and a touch of minerality. The Fumé Blanc has bright acidity and crisp freshness from the cool, stainless steel tank fermentation, while the subtle oak character from neutral French oak barrels adds body, complexity and depth. Best paired with spicier Asian or Mexican dishes.
There were 3 pinot noirs we tasted. The first had light tannins and mouthfeel, and was the fruitiest. The second was a traditional pinot with a nice tannic bite with plenty of fruit forward notes. The last was tannic and earthy, almost like a cab. The second was my favorite, but MC is the pinot lover so we went with her choice snf got the first one. Both were very good though
