Cline Cashmere: Located in Southern Sonoma County, Cline Cellars has been family owned and sustainably farmed since 1982. Fruit used in this wine comes from some of the oldest and rarest grapevines in California, dating back to the early 1900s. The Cashmere is a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre, with flavors of dark cherry and raspberry, with hints of plum and black pepper spice. Enjoy with almost any meat hot off the barbecue.
Fabre en Provence Rosé: The Fabre family has been producing rosé wines in the south of France for 17 generations now. The 2016 Provence Rosé is a bright, crisp wine with tangy red raspberry flavors and a touch of pine on the finish. This wine is a classic example of the terrific wines coming out of this region, as well as a terrific bargain and great summer sipper.
Tinel-Blondelet Pouilly Fumé: Made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown alongside the Loire River in Central France, this wine has the characteristic smoky, flinty traits wines from this region are known for. Notes of white flowers, passion fruit and minerality round out this complex wine. Try it with your favorite tangy goat cheese.
Red Car Rosé of Pinot Noir: This pinot noir rosé is made from grapes grown in the cool Sonoma Coast region. The bone-dry wine has a pale melon pink color and aromas of pink grapefruit and tangerine. Bright Bing cherry flavors dominate the palate with subtle notes of rose petal and strawberry. It’s a favorite of rosés produced here in the United States, and with good reason!
