5 New World Black Beauties, in all their glory. Hopefully this will show you the difference between BIG and “Over the Top”.
- 2006 HARTFORD COURT Zinfandel “Highwire Vineyard” (Russian River Valley) a stellar, mega-intense Zin from 100 plus year old vines grown right in the heart of the Russian River Valley
- 2005 TRITONO Malbec (Argentina) a “mountain grown”, Old Vine Malbec crafted by Pinot-meister Steve Clifton (of Brewer Clifton)
- 2003 DUTSCHKE Shiraz “Oscar Semmler” (Australia) a black, masculine Old Vine Barossa Valley Reserve bottling from Wayne Dutschke
- 2004 CAMBIATA Tannat (Monterey) Tannat is the grape….which in this case is grown high atop a wind pounded Monterey hillside
- 2004 STOLPMAN Angeli (Ballard Canyon) an absolutely insane, majestic, VERY limited Reserve Syrah from superstar winemaker Sashi Moorman
The five wines will be poured 2 ounces each for $42 a person (not including tax or gratuity).
