Friday Wine Tasting at Pettyjohns Liquor and Wine

BONNY DOON LE CIGARE Blanc 2021 

The Bonny Doon Le Cigare Blanc is a delicious blend of white grapes consisting of vermentino, grenache Blanc and clairette Blanc. Unusual grapes for California as they are native to Italy and France, making this blend unique with notes of pineapple, mango, and lime on the nose. A refreshing white wine bursting with flavors from an excellent California producer using old world grapes. 

TOAD HOLLOW MERLOT 2021 

Yields from this 2021 vintage in Mendocino California were small, which led to smaller berries with intense concentration and notable vibrancy. This is a medium body red wine with aromas of violet, dark chocolate, and a little mint. Plums, black berries, and cherries follow through on the palate with pepper tones and soft tannins on the palate. A new edition to Petty Johns and a must try. 
 

THE FABLEIST 365 MERLOT 

The Fableist 365 from Paso Robles is 100% Merlot and drinking fantastic currently. Black tea and nice berry aromas on the nose. Classic silky textures of merlot here with graceful tannins and fresh spices on the finish. Try this wine with anything from beef to lamb or even dark chocolate.
