“This wine reflects the depth of the vintage with its golden color, platinum hue, bright aromas and rich taste.

Winery Tasting Notes:
“Vibrant ruby red in color, La Brisa Pinot Noir opens with hints of earth, crushed violet, and red fruits laced with a “sauvage” character. Intense flavors of crushed raspberry, cola, freshly turned soil, and tobacco linger on the palate.

Kith & Kin (by Round Pond) Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 (Napa Valley, CA)

$34.95/bottle or $23.95/bottle on 6+

Winery Tasting Notes:
“Inviting and approachable, this wines bouquet prepares the palate with aromas of cherry jubilee, coco-dusted red berries, and subtle hints of spice. Red fruit driven, the supple entry teases with bright notes of fresh cherry and licorice immediately lead into darker, fleshier notes. This full-bodied Cabernet shows a beautiful balance of fruit, acid, spice, and tannin. Earthy notes of forest floor, dark chocolate, and sage linger for a full, yet remarkably soft finish.”

“Wine Spectator” Tasting Notes: 90 Points
“A striking example of a balanced wine, featuring ripe, juicy dark berry, spice, herb and dusty oak, with firm yet tender tannins that let the flavors glide happily along. Drink now through 2028.”
