In France, Champagne is produced primarily from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, either individually or blended together. Quality Champagne is typically multi-dimensional, highlighted by hints of crisp, tart and refreshing fruits as a result of skillful blending.

2015       Kendal- Jackson  Estate ,Santa  Maria

The best of our region’s Chardonnays can be absolutely fascinating, with qualities ranging from rich and smoky overtones achieved by oak-barrel aging to a buttery richness or light smack of acid. Increasingly complex, Chardonnay also incorporates some of the sweetest aromas of flora and tropical fruit.

 

Pinot Noir

2014       Etude, Carneros

2015       Mario Perelli-Minetti, Sonoma Coast

“New World” Pinot Noir tends to be slightly more full bodied and richly extracted than most of its traditional burgundian brethren. With flavors ranging anywhere from intense black cherry and stone fruit to a subtle, rich earthiness, the charms of Pinot Noir accompany many dishes, from rich roasted poultry to succulent veal almost perfectly.”

 

Zinfandel

2013       Sin Zin, Alexander Valley Sonoma

2015       Ridge, Three Valleys, Sonoma County

2014       St. Francis “Old vines “, Sonoma County

2013       Napa Cellars, Napa Valley

2014       Rombauer, Napa Valley

2014       Frog’s Leap, Napa Valley

2015       Earthquake, Lodi

Zinfandel is typically rich, lively and heavily extracted. Aromas and flavors are often cited as being akin to wild brambles and light white pepper. Exuberantly ripe yet sporting a lightly acidic finish, Zinfandel holds up well against the heartiest of dishes.

 

Merlot

2011       Twomey, Napa Valley

2013       Franciscan, Napa Valley

2014       Stags’ Leap Winery, Napa Valley

2013       Whitehall Lane Winery, Napa Valley

2009       Provenance, Napa Valley

2010       Artesa  Elements, Napa Valley

2013       VinoBlends, Napa Valley

Merlots often bear resemblance to the richness and complexities of sun-ripened plums. Typically medium-bodied wines with moderate acidity, their softness and full-flavor make them unquestionably versatile in their imbibements.

2015       Decoy, By Duckhorn Wine, Napa Valley

Cabernet, when young has a tendency to lean toward dryness or slight astringency. With a moderate amount of time in the bottle however, they tend to reveal themselves as both elegant and complex. While most Cabernet is blended to achieve an earlier drink ability, a well-aged, unblended Cabernet can be the perfect accompaniment to the heartiest of dishes.

Chianti is one of the most famous wines. It has a wide range of quality and taste. It has flavors of violets with white pepper notes. Brunello is richer, bigger than Chianti. Super and more complex Tuscan wines are usually big, chewy Cabernet blended with Merlot. They are  modern classics.
