Vinos on Duval

Salentein Malbec, Mendoza ARGENTINGA

Black and purple hues, enhanced by a lively shine, deliver a highly attractive wine. Intense aromas of red and black berries, complex; this year with a good share of spices, such as clove and, slightly, pepper. Its mouth-feel offers an ample start, with sweet tannins that are typical of this variety, good structure, and acidity that is remarkable and well-balanced, yet firm, adding agility and freshness with a long finish.

 

Sequoia Grove Cabernet Sauvignon Napa, CA

 Dark black in color, the nose gives aromas of red cherry and blackberries with sweet vanilla, nutmeg, and cigar box notes. There is a hint of crushed flower petals and notes of pencil lead and peppercorn in the background. The palate has a big, round silky arc with smooth tannins and impeccable balance. Flavors of blackberry and spice blend into a smoky finish.

J Lohr  Fog's Reach Pinot Noir Paso Robles, CA

Fog’s Reach is historically known for its strawberry fruit and sage signature. The character of this vintage has additional dimensions of cherry, sassafras and black tea with layers of chocolate, ash and cedar. Promising on release, this supple wine will develop a wonderful bottle bouquet in the first year of aging.

—Steve Peck, red winemaker

 

Mont Gras "Quatro", CHILE

Flavorful, full bodied, food-friendly with a good balance between acidity and sweetness of alcohol, as well as fruit and oak; well-structured and complex, concluding in a long finish

 

Four outstanding grape varieties come into play in Quatro, a singular and distinctive red wine made from selected handpicked grapes. Quatro is the outcome of a judicious blend, with each variety proportionally reflected in the colors adorning the front label: Carmenère (Turquoise), Merlot (Blue), Cabernet Sauvignon (Burgundy) and Malbec (Violet).

Summer's Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, CA

 

Adriana's Cuvee

Summers Andriana’s Cuvee is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon

grapes procured from three select vineyards in the northern Napa Valley, including Summers own Villa Andriana Vineyard.
Unique microclimate of the vineyards combine to yield a deep and complex

Cabernet that is a signature of its extraordinary terroir.
Barrel aging and judicious use of new oak make this a wine that is enjoyable young.
Firm tannins make for wine worthy of cellaring. Serve with roast chicken, London Broil or simply indulge with dark chocolates.

 

 

 Domaine Carneros by Taittinger
Domaine Carneros Brut Vintage is the standard-bearer of the winery and epitomizes the balance and finesse for which the winery is known. Its brilliant straw gold color is punctuated by strands of persistent, pinpoint bubbles. Fresh fruit aromas are balanced by complexity gained from masterful blending and a minimum of three years’ aging. The subtle, ripe fruit richness of the Pinot Noir is balanced by the elegant depth and structure of the Chardonnay, converging in notes of toast and vanilla which linger in the extended finish. It is excellent as a refreshing aperitif or as an accompaniment to an entire meal.

Mont Gras "Antu" CHILE

Full-bodied, velvety smooth and very well-structured; rounded and ripe, with firm tannins; lingering finish

 

“Now that the Ninquen vineyard is in a more mature phase, our selection of grapes has been taken to a higher level. This wine is made from Cabernet lots that, while they don’t make it into the final Ninquen blend, are so good we allocate them to our new Antu Ninquen range of wines. Rich and powerful, this is a wine that delivers a lot. It’s like the brother to the heir to the throne: while he won’t be king, he will still be treated like royalty.”

--Santiago Margozzini, Lead Winemaker, MontGras

J Lohr Arroyo VIsta Chardonnay, PAso Robles CA

Very bright, vibrant yellow color with aromas of pear, apple and lime custard. The Burgundian winemaking techniques, including alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in barrel with lees stirring and extended aging, contribute a complex bouquet of grilled hazelnuts, butter, honey and gun flint and amplify an already intensely viscous wine. This is an enticingly delicious Chardonnay with complex aromas and flavors balanced by palate cleansing acidity.
—Jeff Meier, winemaker

 

J Lohr Hilltop Cabernet Sauvignon, Paso Robles, CA

Hilltop Cabernet Sauvignon is dark-colored with red-purple
hues. Aromas of black plum, violet and pomegranate are wrapped
in a bouquet of hazelnut, coconut and Italian espresso. The large
palate volume of this wine is surprisingly soft and round on the
finish. A high fraction of Malbec brings brightness to this blend,
whose complexity and structure is reminiscent of the finest of
Bordeaux. This wine will age comfortably for 10 to 15 years.
—Steve Peck, red winemaker

Restaraunt Store
Summers Charbono
 A very rare varietals, Charbono is thought to have originated
between the borders of southeastern France and northwestern Italy.
Now only found growing in less than 100 acres of California,
Charbono thrives in the northern end of the Napa Valley. A lovely
wine of bold color and bright fruit
