FRANCISCAN WINE TASTING
FRIDAY DECEMBER 4TH 6-8
Featuring:
Franciscan Cuvee Sauvage Chardonnay 2012
winemaker notes:
AROMA: Crisp pear and apple fruit meet sweeter notes of crème brulee and honeysuckle. Fresh aromas of meyer lemon awaken rhe senses before giving way to warmer notes of vanilla toast and spicy nutmeg.
TASTE: True to cool climate Chardonnay, this wine expresses elegant mineral acidity, flavors of ripe pear and apple pie fill the palate, complemented by sweet notes of cream, honey and subtle cardamom spice. Long smooth rich finish.
Franciscan Magnificat 2012 (will be on sale at $42.99)
wine spectator 90pts –
Firm and complex, with enticing aromas of dark and red berry, spice, cedar andgraphite. Tightly focused and very. Bordeaux-like, showing restraint and structure. Ends long and fruity. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Drink now through 2026. 12,338 cases made. (Oct 15, 2015)

LAIRD FAMILY ESTATES TASTING
SATURADAY DECEMBER 5TH 6-8PM
LAIRD FAMILY Chardonnay Carneros Cold
Creek 2013 Tilts toward the lemon-citrus side of Chardonnay, accenting the snappy green apple and subtle honeydew notes. A touch raw in texture. Drink now. 1,304 cases made.
Laird Family Estate Proprietary Red Jillian's Blend
The 2012 Proprietary Red Blend Jillian’s is primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, 65%, but kitchen-sink additions include 20% Syrah, 10% Merlot, as well as Malbec and Petit Verdot. Production was just over 2,000 cases. I really like the juiciness of this wine, which has a dark ruby/purple color, lots of black cherry, mulberry, mocha, fruit and a nice tactile, eshy impression with good purity, uplift and density in the long velvety ‑nish. This is a beauty to drink now and over the next 7-8 years. The Laird family have for years been among the larger growers of Napa Valley. The amazing thing about these estate-bottled wines is that they claim to use only three percent of the fruit they grow.
