Sterling Vintner’s Cabernet Sauvignon 2009  – California – This restaurant by-the-glass standard displays layers of deep, briary blackberry, currant, spice, and chocolate from California’s Central Coast. Soft floral and herbal nuances add complexity, and a year of aging in oak barrels added toasty vanilla spice.  Firm structure displays a bit of espresso on the lightly dusty finish. There’s good reason they use it in restaurants…  $17.50 – Special 13.95 – cc – 11.86

Seven Daughters Red, NV  – California – This Merlot-based kitchen sink blend is loaded with aromas and flavors of black raspberry, baked strawberry, cola and a hint of bramble.  Juicy, happy and smooth, the raspberry and strawberry elements shine through with nice acidity and mellow tannins.  The Syrah adds just a touch of peppery spice to the long, memorable finish.  Yum!  $16.50 – Special 13.95 – cc – 11.86

DeLoach Pinot Noir 2009  – California – Pinot Noir is the wine most commonly paired with turkey, and this one will not disappoint.  Classic scents and flavors of black cherry, strawberry and pale, ripe blackberry are enhanced  with a bit of a roasty quality in a medium weight offering.  Smooth on the palate with a bit of spice, this wine is easy drinking with a lovely, long finish.  $16.50 – Special 13.95 – cc – 11.86

Joel Gott Pinot Gris 2010  – Oregon – This California producer uses Oregon fruit to create a lovely, bright and lively Pinot Gris.  With pear, lemon-lime and mineral scents, the texture arrives somewhat creamy with a bit of orange peel and more pear and citrus nuances in the flavor.  The finish is long and lovely, and perfectly appealing, making this a fabulous Thanksgiving white.  $20.95 – Special 12.95 – cc – 11.01
