Louis Roederer Brut Premier

Brut Premier characterizes the timeless Louis Roederer style with the combination of fresh, youthful fruitiness and the vinous qualities of a fully matured wine. It is a structured wine with a lively and smooth palate. Brut Premier comes in antique-colored bottles that filter out nearly 100 percent of light and are light weight. — 92 points, Wine Enthusiast

Rodney Strong Symmetry Red Blend

The Symmetry has luxurious notes of blackberries, black cherry, plum and crushed lavender which combine on the palate with silky hints of black fruits, dark chocolate covered espresso beans and baking spices. This wine is rich, harmonious and elegant with a long, lingering finish.

BV Tapestry Red Blend 

This wine offers up sweet black cherry fruit notes mixed with licorice, spices and earthy undertones. Medium to full-bodied and deep flavor with loads of ripe fruit, low acidity and smooth tannins.

Chalk Hill Russian River Estate Pinot Noir

Concentrated wild strawberry and Bing cherry meld together with earthy aromas on the nose of this Pinot Noir. Smooth with soft tannins, the wine’s silky texture has notes of juicy red berry fruits, hibiscus and dark chocolate. Its elegant finish and balanced acidity make it a versatile food-pairing wine.

Cheers and Happy Holidays!
