Loredona Riesling 2007 - Loredona Wine Cellars

Awards:
Best of Show White, Best of California, Best of Region, Best of Class North Central Coast, 2008 California State Fair

Loredona wines are true to this ideal. Crafted from our vineyards located in the best growing regions throughout California, they are a true reflection of the land on which they are grown. Our Riesling and Pinot Grigio embody the sun, wind, fog, and soils of Monterey's San Bernabe Vineyard, and our Viognier captures the warmth and cooling breezes of our Lodi Clay Station Vineyard.

The 2007 Loredona Riesling offers delicate aromas of honeysuckle, granny smith apples and ripe melon. As you sip the wine, layers of flavors unfold starting with ripe apricot and white peaches moving into Valencia orange and lychee. The wine is quite refreshing, finishing with a pleasant tartness that lingers on the palate.
Loredona Riesling is a great match with Asian dishes, seafood chowders and bisques and fresh fruit such as apples, peaches and pears.






Irony Pinot Noir – Irony Wines….life’s strange little twists…..

Irony - a bottle full of life's strange twists and a celebration of our family's life-long commitment to producing the finest quality wines. Irony wines are crafted from grapes selected from vineyards in different Napa Valley microclimates to deliver elegant wines that can be enjoyed with food or on their own.

This Monterey Pinot Noir offers a balance of heady fruit notes and savory characteristics. Layers of sweet cherry, fresh raspberries, cola and earthy mushrooms make up the profile in this medium-bodied wine, with a lingering finish.

Enjoy this wine with lamb, grilled seafood, salads, roast duck or chicken, pasta and cheese.

Brazin Old Vine Zin – Lodi

Lodi is Zinfandel country – the grape thrives in the region’s Mediterranean climate and sandy soils. Located due east of San Francisco, Lodi experiences warm days and nights that are cooled by Pacific breezes funneled through the Carquinez Straits. The unique combination of climate, soil and old vines fosters small berry size which in turn leads to intense color and bold, complex flavors.

Once your eyes glimpse Brazin’s deep and inky color, they’ll alert your other senses to fasten their seat belts. Big, bold aromas of spice, blackberry and blueberry fill your nose, while intense flavors of blueberry, plum and cherry with rich tannins and vanilla mocha notes rock your palate. Brazin is a not a wine to be rushed – don’t be afraid to savor its long, lingering finish.
Be Brazin with your meals and serve with saucy ribs, a juicy pepper steak, pasta with spicy red sauce or pizza with the works!
