Il Cuore Chardonnay $13.99

IL CUORE Chardonnay is produced from grapes grown exclusively in the cool coastal region of Mendocino County, the viticultural “heart” of California. Vineyards in this region invoke Chardonnays that are fresh with apple and pear flavors, complemented by floral nuances in the bouquet. The fresh, graceful style of IL CUORE Chardonnay results from cold fermentation in small stainless steel vessels and small components of barrel fermentation in mostly neutral small oak cooperage.The balanced use of oak in our winemaking offers versatility with a wide range of foods. IL CUORE Chardonnay is recommended with fish, shellfish, crab cakes, game birds, light pasta, vegetarian casserole and mildly spicy Asian cuisine.

Compass Pinot Noir $18.99

Showing a deep garnet color in glass, the 2013 Pinot Noir reveals early the darker character it holds over its' predecessor, the 2012. A striking freshness leads the way into early aromas of strawberry-rhubarb pie and subtle all spice. Gradually the nose fills out into rich aromas of candied black cherry, fresh herb, baking spice and tobacco leaf.

Il Cuore Cabernet Sauvignon $18.99

This vintage is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah and Merlot varieties. The Cabernet offers black cherry flavors and plenty of supple tannins. Petite Sirah contributes lush ripe plum and berry flavors plus adding to the wine body. Merlot adds floral scents and a smooth mouth feel. Barrel aging occurred in neutral 60 gallon oak cooperage allowing the wine to develop complexity yet not be dominated by aggressive oak flavors. IL CUORE Cabernet is recommended with Mediterranean cuisine and classic Italian dishes. Ideal wine and food pairings include lean grilled meats, rich fish such as salmon or tuna, traditional pasta dishes or try IL CUORE with aged cheeses. And don’t forget rich dark chocolate! SALUTE!

Yorkville Hi-Rollr Red $16.99

An easy drinkin’ wine that’s as comfortable with a mid-week pizza as an elegant Sunday roast. On the palate it is a lively wine with rich flavors of cherries, boysenberries and warm spices, all backed with bright acidity and a satisfying finish. This comes together to create a real crowd pleaser. Fortunately, you don’t need to be a High Roller to drink this wine often. The blend includes Malbec and Merlot from our Rennie Vineyard plus Syrah and Sangiovese from the Ukiah Valley, inland Mendocino.

Il Cuore Zinfandel $13.99

IL CUORE Zinfandel and Petite Sirah grapes are harvested from three vineyards in historic Redwood Valley and on the Ukiah bench, all premium wine grape growing regions of Mendocino County. Premium Zinfandel wine has bountiful fruit aroma and flavors leading to some of California’s finest red wines. Old-school winemaking techniques and gentle use of oak barrel aging are used to make a ready-to-drink Zinfandel in its youth, yet with cellar-aging potential for another 5 years. This wine has a mild aroma suggesting dark cherries with a woodsy and peppery note.The wine is medium-bodied and is supple on the palate, with pleasing flavors of ripe berries, plums and black pepper. It is a classically styled elegant wine.
