Wine Tasting THURSDAY!! Tonight 4 - 7 PM

NEW!!!
Raywood Wines:

Raywood Chardonnay – CA. This is a fresh style of Chardonnay, offering clean melon-rind, white-peach and lime aromas. The palate is bright and tight, with lime peel, honeydew and a light touch of guava.

Raywood Sauvignon Blanc – CA. "Wet stone and lemon aromas show on the nose of this appellation cuvée. The texture is soft on the palate, where citrus flesh, grass and green apple flavors converge. Matt Kettmann" - 88/100, Wine Enthusiast

Raywood White Zinfandel – CA. The goal for making a delicious White Zinfandel is balancing the sweetness with enough acidity to make it fruity, but also refreshing and crisp at the finish. Early in the season, the vineyard crew hand-picks clusters that look like they won't make full sugar for our red Zinfandel. These clusters are loaded into the press and made as a white wine rather than a red wine. This gives the beautiful pink color with some red Zinfandel qualities.

Raywood Merlot – CA. Merlot grapes are picked at optimal ripeness to showcase fruit and maintain the elegance of this Bordeaux varietal. The wine is set on French oak for 6 months to add complexity without stealing the elegance of the fruit. This Merlot is a beautiful example of what a California Merlot can be.

Raywood Cabernet Sauvignon – CA. Often synonymous Bordeaux wine blends and the Napa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon is found worldwide – in no small part due to its prized combination of black fruit aromas, structural tannins, and fresh acidity.
