Perfect Wines for Thanksgiving!
 

Bien Nacido Vineyard earned its legendary reputation selling its distinctive, top quality fruit to a who's who of California's boutique wineries. (Au Bon Climat, Foxen, Twomey, Ojai, Sine Qua Non and Qupe, just to name a few).
These days this storied Vineyard has enlisted top winemakers to craft several tiers of very limited production wines from the very best grapes.  Enter J. Wilkes WInery.  Remarkable (and certainly comparable) quality at a fraction the cost of Bien Nacido's more famous client's wines.  Don't miss them.

Both wines are open to taste today!

Facts:

* Sourced from Bien Nacido Vineyard, one of California's most coveted sites. 

*Tiny production with just 360 cases each of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay made.

* The Santa Maria Valley owes its cool climate to its east/west orientation which allows cool air off of the Pacific to flow deeper inland. 

* Hand-harvested to ensure the best selection of grapes.


2010 J. Wilkes Pinot Noir Santa Maria Valley

This wine is all dark fruit and spice on the nose. Once on the palate it gives way to
beautiful cherry, plum and pomegranate backed up by firm midpallet tannins and a smooth finish. This wine will shine when paired with roasted chicken, pork, and lighter game.

While it Lasts: $21.99 

 

2010 J. Wilkes Chardonnay Santa Maria Valley

All barrel fermented and aged in French oak with 100% malolactic fermentation. Alluring aromas of toasted hazelnut, lime zest, vanilla and honeysuckle. The suave entry on the palate gives way to a rich, and lingering finish with acacia, vanilla bean and melon. Pair this wine with any sort of fish, poultry, or just a nice afternoon.
