Friday Wine tasting at Pettyjohns Liquor and Wine
NAPA CELLARS CHARDONNAY 2021
The grapes for the 2021 Napa Cellars Chardonnay were primarily picked from vineyards within the Napa Valley with a portion of the grapes coming from the Clarksburg AVA. The climate in these vineyards provide the ideal conditions for Chardonnay. These excellent conditions in Napa Valley and the warmer climate of Clarksburg help produce Chardonnay with full bodied flavors and balanced energic acidity. Aromas of fresh apple, mandarin, butterscotch, honey, and vanilla all support flavors of ripe pears and hints of lemon zest on the palate. Terrific value from Napa.
CANTINE POVERO BARBARA D’ASTI 2022
The most authentic expression of the Barbera grape. A varietal cultivated in Monferrato, Italy as early as the 6thcentury. Aged in stainless tanks, the Povero ``Contrada Maestra'' enhances the primary aromas of Barbera, including cherry, orange peel, plum, wild berries and violet. The palate is fresh with low tannins and high acidity, which is a benchmark for the grape varietal. One of the most food friendly grapes out there. Pair with anything from meat sauces to barbecue.
SIXTH SENSE SYRAH 2020
80% Syrah, 18% Petite Sirah, 2% Cinsault for this delicious offering from the Michael David Winery out of Lodi California. This Velvety Syrah blend opens with aromas of ripe blackberry, boysenberry and fig laced with dark chocolate and allspice. On the palate the wine is full bodied with noticeable tannins and flavors of black raspberry, coffee and tobacco, all leading to a layered lingering finish.
