Friday Wine Tasting at Pettyjohns Liquor and WIne

FAMILIA VALDELANA RIOJA BLANCO 

A blend of 50% Malvasia and 50% Viura. Two underrated white grapes grown in Rioja, Spain that pack a big value. This blend is yellow colored with a high aromatic intensity on the nose. Notes of tropical fruit, passion fruit mango and apricots on the nose. The palate is rich, soft, and fresh. This wine has great acidy and a long aftertaste where white flowers prevail. Pairs well with appetizers, tapas, rice, pasta, white meat, and fish.

BROADSIDE MERLOT PASO ROBLES 2020

This merlot from Broadside winery is grown in their Margarita Vineyard in Paso Robles. Flavors of black cherry cola, plum, vanilla bean, and sweet tobacco with a hint of violet and cedar. The tannins are balanced and supple. It has well rounded acidity that keeps the flavors lingering just long enough to enjoy with any dish or on its own. 

THE VELVET DEVIL MERLOT 2021 

Charles Smith Velvet Devil from Washington State is an exceptional wine that offers smooth, luxurious mouthfeel and rich complex flavors. The black fruit, cedar, tobacco, and cassis notes are concentrated and perfectly balanced, creating a wine that is both rich and pure. This merlot is a perfect pairing for a wide range of dishes from juicy burgers to grilled steak.
