It’s been a “Withers Wonderland”at Carpe Vino this week where we have featured one of THE best small production, cult wineries on the market today. For Saturday Wine Club Member Tasting the brouhaha continues. We will be offering a taste of four of the most popular wines thus far. However, with limited samples on hand, all wines will be available on a PRE-SALE basis ONLY. So, come on down to CV this Saturday from 1 P.M. – 4 P.M. and stake your claim on some excellent vino: (please remember two-person maximum per wine club membership, no guests).

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Withers “Peter’s Vineyard” Chardonnay 2016 (Sonoma Coast, CA)

$39.95 or $33.96/bottle on 6+

Winery Tasting Notes:
“This Chablis inspired wine offers up beautiful citrus, tropical and wet stone flavors, highlighted by lemon essence and saline notes. The medium bodied frame is layered and textured, and buttressed by strong balancing acidity due to the partial M/L fermentation. Balanced and elegant, this wine is a perfect match for shellfish, crudo, seafood and fowl dishes. It is best served at or slightly above cellar temperature and can be enjoyed now or cellared for 5-10 years.”

 

 

The Withers Rosé 2017 (El Dorado, CA)

$22.00bottle or $18.70/bottle on 6+

Winery Tasting Notes:
“This Bandol-inspired Rosé is a beauty, offering up lovely and persistent citrus and stone fruits, highlighted by cherry, watermelon rind, nectarine and peach flavors. The wine is firmly buttressed by strong balancing acidity. The medium bodied frame is layered, textured, balanced and elegant, and the wine will drink well on release or age for 3-7 years. It is a perfect accompaniment to a wide variety of seafood, pasta and fowl and best served at or slightly above cellar temperature”

 

The Withers “Charles Vineyard” PInot Noir 2015 (Anderson Valley, CA)

$46.95/bottle or $39.91/bottle on 6+

Winery Tasting Notes:

“This beautiful wine offers typical Anderson Valley fruit profiles with cherry and kirsch aromas and flavors, combined with a delicate earthiness and dusty tannic backbone. With air, secondary flavors emerge to display its breeding and balance.”

 

 

 

The Withers “Rueben” Red Wine 2015 (El Dorado, CA)

$38.95/bottle or $33.11/bottle on 6+

“Wine Advocate” Notes: 90 Points

“This medium bodied, beautifully balanced wine features note of dried herbs, forest floor, saline, leather and cassis on the nose. The elegant fruit is in perfect harmony with the sweet tannins that give this blend its backbone. Crystalline flavors of purple flowers, delicate leather and game soar out of the glass and will provide both near and long term drinking pleasure for 8-15 years, paired with a wide range of foods ranging from fowl to pasta to meat.”
