Aquinas 2010 Pinot Noir - 2 bottles

Cherry aromas are layered in this deeply-colored Pinot Noir, and secondary notes of mint and forest floor can be found in the nose as well.  Fresh red currant flavors are concentrated on the palate, and well-balanced by a nice earthiness and mild spice reminiscent of coriander and sandlewood.  Full-bodies for a Pinot Noir but matched with a mouthwatering acidity, this style of red wine if unusually versatile. Velvety tannins stretch out the long finish with a trace of red ripe fruit as the final flavors linger.

Aquinas 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon - 1 bottle

Intriguingly aromatic, this wine opens with bold notes of black raspberry, ripe black cherry, tobacco and the smoke toast of new French oak.  A rich array of flavor follows ranging from blackberries and Mexican chocolate to cherry reduction sauce and even a hint of Herbs de Provence.  The ripe, full fruit flavors are held in check by its moderate acidity and hearty tannins resulting in a beautifully balanced Cabernet Sauvignon with a toasty wood finish.
