The aroma of peach sun-tea is in your glass. The scent of sun-warmed apples hanging on their branches and the smell of Joseph's Coat roses climbing the trellis is heady in the air. You sit and enjoy the taste of juicy, tangy, apricots, sweet ripe clementine's and candied Meyer lemon zest. This Riesling is the epitome of that day.

The aromatic nose is redolent of mixed dark berries and currant balanced with hints of rosemary and herbs. The bouquet is full and round with a dusty chocolate aroma, a hint of lovely soft vanilla and just a dash of cinnamon.

 As soon as this wine hits the tongue it explodes with flavor. Bright Bing cherries chase red plum around the palate. A light mint and whisper of floral is mixed with the essence of summer blackberries, which carries through to the finish. The well-structured tannins are soft, yet daring, allowing the wine to either be enjoyed with big bold meals or quietly sipped on its own.

This robust,silky and intensely inky-colored Cabernet Sauvignon wine is grown in the well-drained, stony and iron-rich soils of the Weir Family Vineyard along the Silverado Trail, one mile south of the famed Stags]]> ContactUs@KosherEye.com (Lois Held) Wine of the Week Sun, 07 Apr 2013 05:00:00 +0000 2006 Prix Reserve Merlot http://iwww.koshereye.com/wine-of-the-week/2450-2006-prix-resertve-merlot.html http://iwww.koshereye.com/wine-of-the-week/2450-2006-prix-resertve-merlot.html 2006 Prix Reserve MerlotWe always prided ourselves on producing varietally true releases of Merlot, and the 2006 Prix Reserve Napa Valley, Vichy Vineyard Block 4, Reserve Merlot is no exception. On the nose are red and black fruits while on the palate are bright cherry flavors complimented by a multitude of spices and silky, soul-filling tannins.

We believe that some years yield more generous, luscious wines than other seasons and for Prix Reserve Chardonnay, 2010 was that season. This is a beautiful complex wine with a lush deep nose and rich length across the palate. The nose takes you to a tropical paradise. It's as if you are sitting on the beach with the scents of pineapple and star fruit wafting by you on a warm evening breeze. The coconuts up in their trees make an appearance in both the aromatics and mouth of this round wine. Laying softly across the whole palate, this wine continues is tropic vacation with toasted pineapple and plantains.

On the nose, our Syrah shows aromas of red and black fruits. This inky, dark red wine fills the mouth with firm, meaty tannins, complementing a rich mix of cherry, black cherry, chocolate, and leather. With an extremely long finish, this well-structured Syrah begs for the accompaniment of food--anything roasted and in need of a wine able to accent and deepen the experience of hearty meat dishes.
