75 Wine Company Cabernet Sauvignon This wine showcases fruit from Lake and Mendocino Counties. It is a rich and balanced Cabernet Sauvignon express- ing aromas of red currants, strawberry jam and black berries as well as a touch of fresh hay. These aromatics are bal- anced with a note of toffee/biscotti from a year of aging in medium+ toast French oak (30% new). A hint of freshly tilled soil adds further complexity. It is smooth on entry as the tannins are well integrated into this full-bodied wine. Finish is long and lingering. Presqu’ile Santa Maria Chardonnay This wine features an elegant, supple base with mouthwatering citrus notes. Wine Spectator describes it as “elegant and refreshing, with pure-tasting fla- vors of white peach, green apple and Asian pear that are supported by fresh acidity. The lilting finish has some butter cream notes.” n 62 PEACHYTHEMAGAZINE.COM
