Chris Baker Ribbon Ridge Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2022
This wine is dark ruby in color with a pure sweet nose of black cherries, and Tayberry, along with a waft of forest floor. It is a medium to full bodied wine of substance and surprising length. It is cooling on the palate with voluminous mouthfeel that leads to a long finish with a touch of cocoa, spic, and subtle lingering toasted oak.
Kleine Zalze Cabernet Sauvignon Family Reserve 2017
Kleine Zalze Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied, stylish, and enticing wine with ripe blackcurrant and smoky coffee aromas. Crafted from hand-selected grapes and aged for 22 months in 100% new French oak barrels that have been seasoned for 36 months, this wine showcases exceptional quality with sweet cassis and blackberry fruit, smoky spicy oak, fine-grained tannins, and a long finish. Why You'll Love It This is premium Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon—full-bodied, stylish, and beautifully crafted with 22 months in 100% new French oak. The Family Reserve represents Kleine Zalze's finest expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, with meticulous attention to detail from hand-sorting on the table to extended skin contact and ageing in oak seasoned for 36 months. The result of years of experimentation, this wine offers exceptional complexity and structure at outstanding value for a premium reserve Cabernet. Vineyard & Production Prior to crushing, grapes were hand-selected on the sorting table to ensure only the purest fruit was used. After crushing and three days of cold soaking, the grapes were inoculated with yeast. During fermentation, the juice was regularly punched down and pumped over for maximum colour and flavour extraction. Extended skin contact was given before maturation took place in 100% new French oak barrels for 22 months. As a result of years of experimentation, this wine was aged in oak that has been seasoned for 36 months. Tasting Notes Full-bodied and stylish with ripe blackcurrant and smoky coffee aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet cassis and blackberry fruit, smoky spicy oak, fine-grained tannins, and a long finish. Perfect Pairings Perfect with grilled steak, roasted lamb, aged cheeses, or rich stews. Also excellent with venison, duck breast, or hearty casseroles. Grape Variety 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
