Iconic Wines - Silver Oak and Rombauer

This week we have new releases of 2 of California’s most iconic wines.




New vintage!
2016 Rombauer Chardonnay...$33.98
There is no denying that the Rombauer Vineyards Chardonnay is one of America's favorite white wines. Year-in and year-out, this iconic wine hits a home run. Enticing aromas of vanilla, melon, papaya, and mango are layered with baked apples, creme brulee, butter and a slight minerality. Those scents are echoed as flavors on the creamy, rich palate, along with peach, pie crust and baking spices. The long, smooth finish is marked by mouthwatering acidity.


New vintage! Great intro price!
2013 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet....$69.98
The 2013 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is garnet in color with a ruby red rim, it has an alluring nose of blackberry bramble, baking spices, and black olive. Aromas of vanilla, cassis, and sage fill the glass, revealing the influence of American oak barrel aging. On the palate, notes of raspberry are complemented with lingering acidity and a finish of dusty, silky tannins. Given proper cellaring, this wine will provide drinking pleasure through 2036.
