nv Chandon Étoile Rosé $48 Napa Sonoma

Elegant and restrained. Fresh aromas of plum, raspberry and nutmeg follow

through on the palate with delicate cocoa. The wine finishes with excellent length and richness

that will stand up to a variety of foods. 92 Points Wine Enthusiast

2012 Angela Estate Pinot Noir $60

Yamhill-Carlton From the winemaker that crafted Wine Enthusiast’s ‘Wine of the Year’ in 2012, Ken Wright brings you

the highly esteemed Angela Estate Pinot Noir. This small-production, hand-crafted wine is rather ‘Old-World’ with its approach. Aromas of clove, toasted black walnut and black cherry elevate from the glass as flavors of black-currant, pomegranate and

bittersweet chocolate float across the palate. Rated ‘Excellent’ by Great NW Wine

2009 InSpire Cabernet Sauvignon $125

Napa Valley

Inspire is the slightly rebellious son of Boyanci and fills the mouth with weighty flavors of blackber-ry, blueberry and dark chocolate. The finish is long

and surprisingly balanced for such a young wine. Gold Medal NY W orld W ine & Spirits
