roasted meats and cheeses

Being so close to harvest

The 2016 Melbury is powerful and yet medium in body

Lingering fruity aftertaste on the finish

so as to make the color brighter and long-lasting

Beringer - Alluvium Blanc Knights Valley 1997 (750ml) San Diego County roasted meats and cheesesEd Sbragia and his winemaking partner, Laurie Hook, barrel fermented the individual lots of the two varietals in 60 percent new French oak and stirred the lees twice a month during the nine months of barrel aging. This created a round, lush mouthfeel in the wine and toasty, vanilla, nutty leesy oak aromas and flavors. The wines underwent malolactic fermentation to bring a creaminess that balances the crisp acidity in the Sauvignon Blanc and Smillon.
