Enjoy a 2012 Pinot Grigio and a 2009 Merlot from Bargetto Winery!

2009 Central Coast Merlot:

Rich, ruby color, brighter than a typical Merlot.  The nose is filled with spices, licorice, cinnamon and plums.  This complex nose is followed by an underlying almost hidden aroma of leather, menthol, and vanilla.  On first taste, this Merlot shows more smoky flavors and finishes with hints of ripe red berries.  The mouth-feel begins with tannins and finishes with a light kick of acidity.  This pairs best with BBQ ribs, mild cheeses and spicy enchiladas!

2012 Pinot Grigio:

A balanced blend of grapes from two very different regions: the hot-climate of Lodi and the cool climate of Monterey.  The color of this wine is light with only a slight straw hue.  Ripe grapefruit, tropical lychee, quince, guava and white peach take over the initial aromas.  These fruity aromas are followed by a very clean minerality, noticed as the wine opens up.  The palate is fresh and fruity dominated by flavors of pears, granny smith apples, milons and pineapple.  Best pairings include, not are not limited to, Asian dishes, seared Ahi, oysters and summer salads.
