Nautique Esprit de Blanc

This wine possesses interesting aromatic qualities that are the result of judicious blending.  Each of the three components lends individualistic qualities to the finished wine.  The “old Vines” clone of Chardonnay has it’s typical lemon-grass and Sauvignon Blanc aroma.  The Pinot Grigio contributes a citrus and orange peel quality.  The Riesling adds to the complexity with grapefruit and peach nuances.  The result is a vibrant, complex aromatic white wine that will make Oysters and Clams leap out of their shells.

Tasting Notes:

The palate is snappy and mouthwatering with fresh lemon-lime, orange peel and just-ripe peach flavors that linger on a dry, crisp finish. Some apple flavors emerge as the wine warms toward room temperature.

Lockhart Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

“Forward and ripe with black cherry and coffee flavors. Medium bodied with silky tannins in the finish. Lockhart Wines are produced with a clear goal: to make straight-forward, food-friendly wines. This goal is attained through a process that begins in the vineyard, where high-quality grapes provide a base for the wine. The grapes chosen for these wines are from select vineyard sites in Sonoma and Napa counties. The winemaking style is one of little intervention. No new oak is used (none at all in the Chardonnay) to allow the fruit and varietal characteristics of the wines to shine through. Both the merlot and chardonnay are clean, bright wines that pair well with a wide variety of foods.” -Winery
