Item Description: five luxurious red wines from near and far

• 2013 Michael Pozzan Red Wine (Marianna, Napa Valley) (valued at $50). Dark rich fruit on the nose with complex and well-rounded flavors on the palette. Not overbearing…light and feels natively French. Donated by the Iwahashi Family.


• 2013 Hartford Court Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) (valued at $32). Aromas of blackberries, blueberry and nutmeg are followed by flavors of Bing cherries, wild raspberries, dark plum and allspice. The dense entry is followed by a sweet and juicy mouth feel, supported by acidity, silky tannins and a subtle earthy finish. Donated by the Vanholder Family.


• 2013 St. Clement Cabernet Sauvignon Vintner’s Collection (Napa Valley) (valued at $35). The bright and juicy palate intrigues with hints of mint and cocoa, and finishes with intense fruit and fine-grained tannins. Donated by the Downey/Donovan Family.


• 2013 Tilia Premium Select Blend (Mendoza, Argentina) (valued at $20). Using sustainably farmed grapes, this wine brings together four varieties that shine in Mendoza’s wine country: 48% Malbec, 27% Bonarda, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Syrah, resulting in a rich and velvety blend packed with ripe red fruit and spice. Donated by the Downey/Donovan Family.


• 2014 Carneros Creek Pinot Noir Reserve (Carneros) (valued at $30). Pure, fine and tantalizing with an accent of sweet oak; bright red fruit and oak in the end. Donated by the Kapor/Stock Family.
