Washington
Meritage
The
Region:
The
Red
Mountain
AVA
is
Washington’s
smallest,
at
approximately
3,600
acres.
Grape
growing
conditions
are
almost
textbook
perfect:
slope,
exposure,
weather
conditions,
good
air
drainage,
large
day/night
temperature
swings,
gravelly
soil
with
high
calcium
carbonate
content
and
high
pH
and
the
nearby
Yakima
River
to
moderate
temperature
extremes—there
could
hardly
be
more
positive
flavor
influences
to
grapes
grown
here.
The
Wine:
A
blend
of
Cabernet
Sauvignon,
Cabernet
Franc
and
Petite
Verdot,
this
wine
features
great
extract,
deep
colour
and
intense
aromatics
of
dark
berry
fruit,
cassis,
peppery
spice,
cedar
and
smoke.
The
seductive
nose
of
this
wine
foreshadows
magnificent
texture
and
flavor,
including
dark
berries,
liquorice,
vanilla
and
warm
brown
spices
that
glide
across
the
palate.
The
texture
and
mouthfeel
of
the
wine
offers
up
silky
tannins
and
a
velvety
smooth
structure.
The
Food:
Marinated
&
Grilled
Flank
Steak
with
Blue
Café
De
Paris
Butter.
Ageing:
The
complexity
and
structure
of
this
wine
will
require
three
to
six
months
to
unwind,
and
it
will
continue
improving
for
several
years.
Due
to
the
ripe
tannins
it
will
also
benefit
from
decanting
before
serving.

South
African
Sauvignon
Blanc-Semillon
The
Region:
Known
as
‘Valley
of
Wine
and
Roses’,
South
Africa’s
Robertson
Valley
has
a
very
hot
climate
with
minimal
rainfall—less
than
a
foot
per
year.
Luckily
the
calcareous
red
clay
loam
and
clay
Karoo
soils
have
excellent
water
holding
capacity,
and
the
gentle
slopes
and
varied
microclimates
allow
for
precision
planting
to
maximise
grape
quality.
The
Wine:
Sauvignon
Blanc
has
wild,
herbaceous
flavors
and
tart,
grapefruit-like
character,
which
shows
strongly
in
the
young
wine,
while
Sémillon
has
flavors
of
honeydew
melon
and
sweet
honey
that
take
a
bit
longer
to
come
out.
Together
the
two
grapes
make
a
lush,
balanced
wine
with
great
up-front
fruit
and
a
satisfying,
rich
finish.
The
Food:
Pan
Roasted
Digby
Bay
Scallop,
Jewel
Yam
Purée,
White
Truffle
Oil
&
Salsa
Verdé.
Ageing:
The
citrus
notes
of
the
Sauvignon
Blanc
make
this
wine
tempting
to
drink
right
away
and
after
three
months
the
Sémillon
will
rise
up
to
give
a
mellower
white
wine.
It
will
improve
for
at
least
a
year,
giving
deeper
flavors
of
melon
and
honey
as
it
goes.

California
Petite
Sirah
/
Zinfandel
(Limited
Edition
2005)
The
Region:
Nestled
in
the
foothills
of
the
Sierra
Nevada
Mountains,
Amador
County
is
sometimes
called
‘California’s
Piedmont’.
With
vineyards
running
from
250
to
2900
feet
in
elevation,
and
summer
temperatures
ranging
from
80
to
over
100
degrees
F,
the
excellent
growing
conditions
have
encouraged
diversified
plantings.
The
Wine:
Grippingly
tannic,
bold
and
deeply
colored
Petite
Sirah
complements
the
jamminess
of
Zinfandel,
taming
the
abundant
blueberries
and
blackberries
with
a
hint
of
dark
cherry
and
vanilla.
Full-bodied
with
a
lingering
palate
and
peppery
spice,
this
is
a
wine
of
unprecedented
power
and
length.
The
Food:
Apple
Cider
Brined
Thick-Cut
BBQ
Pork
Chops.
Ageing:
This
is
a
wine
that
shows
best
with
ageing.
After
one
year
the
blackberries
will
come
out,
and
at
two
years
will
tame
the
tannin’s
grip,
showing
the
black
pepper
and
rich
dark
fruits.

German
Traminer
Spätlese
The
Region:
Germany’s
most
famous
growing
region,
the
Mosel
Valley,
with
its
mineral-laden
soils,
produces
some
of
the
world’s
finest
off-dry
wines.
The
sheer
mountains
and
rugged
steep
slopes
make
the
most
of
the
northern
sunshine,
but
they
also
mean
that
vineyard
work
must
be
done
by
hand,
and
yields
are
very
low.
This
results
in
carefully
crafted,
very
intensely
flavored
wines.
The
Wine:
Traminer
is
the
parent
of
the
more
familiar
Gewürztraminer
and
Spätlese
is
a
German
wine
term
meaning
‘late
harvest’,
indicating
a
wine
made
from
fully
mature
grapes
that
are
picked
at
least
7
days
after
normal
harvest,
so
they
are
riper
and
have
higher
sugar
levels.
This
is
a
gently
golden-coloured
wine,
unmistakable
in
its
heady,
aromatic
intensity,
with
a
pungent
fragrance
of
lychee,
tropical
fruit
and
rose
petals.
Its
flavors
are
ample,
lusciously
fruity
and
spicy.
The
Food:
Vanilla
Bean
Glazed
Peach
Cobbler
Ageing:
The
intense
fruit
character
will
be
apparent
immediately
in
this
rich
wine
making
it
a
tempting
sipper
right
away,
but
the
deeper
floral
characters
of
rose
petal
and
lychee
will
become
much
more
apparent
after
six
months
to
a
year.

Spanish
Matador
Trio
Red
The
Region:
From
the
green
damp
north
to
the
arid
south,
Spain
is
the
country
with
the
most
land
under
vine
in
the
world.
Mancha
is
Europe’s
largest
denominated
wine
region
and
its
hot,
dry
growing
conditions
yield
intensely
flavored
red
grapes.
The
Wine:
Tempranillo
are
deep
blue-black
berries,
high
in
color
and
extract,
with
delicate
aromas.
Cabernet
Sauvignon’s
small
berries
yield
high
tannins
and
intense
structure,
while
Monastrell
adds
grip,
earthiness
and
ripe
red
fruit.
Lush,
tannic
and
complex,
with
intense
black
fruit
flavors
of
black
cherry,
raspberry,
black
currant
and
notes
of
plums
and
tobacco,
the
wine
takes
gracefully
to
oak,
adding
layers
of
vanilla,
cedar
and
rich
coffee
nuances.
The
Food:
Mediterranean
White
Bean
Salad,
Marinated
with
Garlic,
Extra
Virgin
Olive
Oil,
Parmigiano-Reggiano&
Fine
Herbs.
Ageing:
With
soft
acidity
and
lush
tannins,
this
wine
is
enjoyed
after
only
three
to
six
months,
but
the
black
fruits,
cherry
and
plum
notes
will
take
six
months
to
show
well,
and
the
vanilla/coffee
nuances
will
show
best
after
one
year.
