Tritana
Montepulciano D’Abruzzo
Origin: Abruzzo, Italy

Darkly colored, its blueberry and blackberry fruit flavors are bright and fresh, in contrast with so many other heavier Montepulciano wines on the market. The wine’s soft tannins and thirst-quenching touch of sea spray recall the drinkability and flexibility of reds from Chianti.
Prunotto
Dolcetto D’Alba

Ruby red with violet reflections, vinous and pleasantly fruity, soft flavors, rich with fruits. This is a classic expression of dolcetto.

Primaterra
Pinot Nero

Sandhi
“Fox Block 12”
Pinot Noir

Pair this full-bodied wine with equally bold dishes: spicy chorizo chili, barbecue brisket or garlic chicken wings
Chateau Souverain
Merlot
Origin: Alexander Valley
Varietal: Merlot
At night, fog from the Pacific Ocean flows up the Russian River channel, keeping many vineyards cool and shaded until nearly midday. Our grapes have the luxury to ripen slowly, developing higher acidity, a lower pH, good color and a full expression of the varietal’s characteristics.

Mendoza is a large province (nearly the size of Illinois) that is home to 75% of the Argentina’s vineyards and Malbec is the region’s most celebrated grape.
