Sineann
Sauvignon Blanc 2016 
Awatere Valley, New Zealand
Grape Varietal –
Sauvignon Blanc

Owner and winemaker, Peter Rosbeck, has been making delicious and beautiful wines since 1994. Well known for sourcing fruit from only the best vineyards, Peter carefully crafts wines from vineyards throughout the Pacific Northwest, from Washington’s Horse Heaven Hills to Oregon’s Willamette Valley. In the spring, Peter travels to New Zealand to make Sauvignon Blanc (Awatere Valley) and Pinot Noir (Central Otago).

Wine Maker’s Notes

“The particular qualities of the 2016 Sineann Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc that captivates are the sheer intensity of fruit on the palate, the mid-palate creaminess and the richness of the finish – along with the beautiful natural acidity.

We attribute the remarkable fruit and lengthy finish to the special care the fruit receives. This is a rare, hand-harvested New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, cluster-sorted. It makes a difference! 

The 2016 Sineann Sauvignon Blanc is one of the best we’ve made and is a great example of how special Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc can be.”

Domaine Moulin-La-Viguerie 
Tavel 2017 
Southern Rhône, France
Grape Varietals –
50% Grenache Noir, 30% Cinsault,
10% Syrah, 10% mix of Mourvedre, Bourboulenc, Clairette 

A gem from the Southern Rhône!  Tavel is a unique appellation that focuses on only making rosé wine.  The Petit-Roudil family has been producing Tavel wines since the 16th century when the monks were making the local wines. These rosés tend to be more full-bodied, with a greater intensity of flavors.  Powerful notes of dark cherries, wild strawberries, and dried herbs are enjoyed with a long dry finish.  A perfect rosé for all occasions, Tavel is easily paired with any meal. Think of it as a light red wine and try it with your next cheese and charcuterie plate or grill up your favorite fowl or seafood. Cheers!
