WHITES:

Chardonnay: This premier California varietal grape yields a full-bodied, moderately acidic, dry austere wine that is magnificent with “light” foods, including rich cream sauces, or with fruit or cheese.

Pinot Grigio: French for “gray”, refers to grayish hue of the grape. Styles vary from crisp, light and dry, to rich, fat and honeyed. From France’s Alsace Region. Expect a crisp, light, dry wine.

Sauvignon Blanc: Originated in the Loire Valley of France. Sassy & vibrant in style; aromatic personality; high acidity and crisp, clean taste. A wide range of flavors from herbal to veggie, from grass to hay, and mineral tones to a citrus and tropical flavor mix.

REDS:

Barbera: A dark-skinned wine grape variety found in several Italian wine regions, including its native Piedmonti; naturally high in acidity, with a very deep ruby color, and full-body. For years it played a secret, supporting role in the production of Barolo. Flavors of dark cherry, dried strawberry, plum and blackberry.

Cabernet Franc: Generally blended with Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot as a Bordeaux Meritage. Generally lighter in color than Cabernet Sauvignon.

Cabernet Sauvignon: Originally from the Bordeaux region of France. The jewel in California’s Crown! This varietal grape produces a dry red wine.

Grenache: A Rhône varietal that produces wines with high concentrations of fruit, tannin, and acids. Its flavors are most typically currant, cherry, and raisin, and its aromas are of black pepper, menthol, and licorice; intensely fruity and fat.

Merlot: In French it means “young black bird”. It produces wines generally softer, with higher alcohol content, rounded and more supple than Cabernet Sauvignon.

Mourvèdre: A Rhône varietal that is a wonderful blending component; its structure and mid-palate richness complement the openness, warmth and brighter acids of Grenache and the mineral, spice and tannin of Syrah; aromas of red fruit, chocolate/mocha.

Old Vine Zinfandel: 25 – 90+ year old vines. Zinfandel is a chameleon, offering a range of styles. It can show bright fruit flavors like cherry and strawberry, earthy characteristics with mineral notes, and rich spices of clove, nutmeg and allspice. It can be hearty with robust tannins, depth and complexity, or have jammy blackberry and mocha flavors with layers of spice. This fruit-forward wine is ideal for long aging.

Petite Sirah: A varietal grape that produces dry, full-bodied tannin red wines, excellent with big, well-seasoned meals. Good for color & firmness in blends.

Pinot Noir: Famous red grape originating from France’s Burgundy region. When young exhibits fruity characteristics of cherries, plums, raspberries and strawberries.

Primitivo: Domenico Estate Grown DNA analysis has revealed that it is genetically equivalent to the Croatian grapes Crljenak Kaštelanski. The grapes have been grown in Croatia longer than anywhere else. Primitivo is now thought to have been introduced as a distinct clone into the Apulia region of Italy in the 18th century. Known as the twin brother or godfather of California’s Zinfandel. Deeply colored, rich, and concentrated with flavors of zesty cherry, clove, wild blackberry, raspberry and spice, round, full-bodied and jammy in flavor.

Sangiovese: Dominant grape in Chianti. Italy’s most well-known and widely planted red grape variety. A dry, medium-bodied red wine that tips towards higher levels of mouth-watering acidity and tighter tannins. The rich flavors range from rustic to fruity. Expect red cherry, smoke and earthy herbaceousness, spicy oak-induced nuances and peppery tones and even streaks of sweet tobacco. Ideally blended with Cabernet, Merlot or Zinfandel to create a “Super Tuscan” blend.

Syrah: Domenico Estate Grown Clonal cousin of Petite Sirah, makes a full-bodied tannin red wine. Make it straight or use it in any blend. Syrah produces deeply colored and concentrated, rich, red wines with the ability to age and evolve for years or multiple decades in the best cases. Typical scents and flavors include blackberries, plums, black cherries, flowers, spice, earth, chocolate, licorice, blueberry, pepper and truffles.
