2018 Belle Glos Las Alturas Pinot Noir

2018 Belle Glos Las Alturas Pinot Noir

The Spanish term ‘Las Alturas’ means ‘the heights’, a fitting name for the Belle Glos vineyard located on one of the highest grape-growing benches in the Santa Lucia Highlands. At this elevation, the sunny but very cool climate creates a wine bearing all the hallmarks of this coastal region: robust, expressive, full bodied, and balanced by a firm acidity.

Why I Prefer Blending vs Juicing

Why I Prefer Blending vs Juicing

It’s well known that increasing your intake of fruits and vegetables is beneficial for you. The more fruits and vegetables you consume, the greater the benefits! But I can understand that it can be difficult for some people, including myself, to consume the recommended five or more servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Therefore, I choose to drink my veggies. Blending my vegetables into a smoothie is an easy way to get my daily servings in.

2016 Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon

2016 Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon

Mount Veeder Winery's Cabernet is a bold, full-bodied wine with a deep ruby color. This Cabernet is rich with ripe berries and summer cherry pie on the nose, complemented by hints of earth, cedar, rosemary, and dried sage. A supple, well-structured palate that's full, almost juicy, with a slightly mineral edge. Dark cassis fruit layers with bright blackberry, building complexity with layers of mocha and peppercorn. The wine is dry but finishes with a lovely, delicate sweetness derived from its fruit character and 20 months in fine oak barrels. This Cabernet was awarded 94 Points by Wine Spectator.

2017 Eternally Silenced

2017 Eternally Silenced

Eternally Silenced is the second vintage of Pinot Noir produced by the Prisoner Wine Company. The design of this bottle will definitely leave you speechless. The label is definitely on the dark side, but this is not unusual coming from this winery. The label which was designed by the winemaker is amazing to say the least.
