Wine of the Week
Hundred Acre Cabernet Sauvignon ’14
“Deep garnet colored, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard comes charging out of the gate with amazingly intense roses and lilacs scents over an impressively primary core of blackberries, crushed black currants and black cherries with tantalizing layers of chocolate box, smoked meats and Chinese five spice plus a waft of fragrant earth. The palate is full-bodied, super concentrated and built like a brick house, delivering very firm, grainy tannins with just enough freshness, finishing very long and minerally. Drink: 2020-2060”

Black Garlic is aged through a natural maturation process. Temperature and humidity levels are strictly controlled and no additives nor conservatives are used. This garlic is deliciously sweet, with slight hints of spice and liquorice. Aside from its health benefits, black garlic has become an ingredient in the more discerning kitchens, with its flavor being compared to ‘Umami’, the famous fifth tastes along with the more habitual sweet, sour, bitter and salt. Umami comes from Japanese and means delicious taste, exactly that of Black garlic. It can be eaten alone or added to seafood dishes, cheeses, meats or mushrooms. $9.99/60g jar
Cabra al Gofio Using a traditional method of coating the rind in toasted corn flour (gofio), this goat’s milk cheese is striking in appearance and super approachable. Pleasantly milky and mild with subtle hints of rosted cornmeal and a unique sweetness to the finish. $22.99/lb
“The 2016 Pinot Noir Cali’s Cuvee is pale to medium ruby-purple in color with a very pretty nose of dried leaves, dusty earth and wood smoke over fresh, ripe red and black cherries and berries aromas with notes of cranberry sauce and bright pomegranate—a nice interplay of fruit and earth here. The palate is light to medium-bodied with juicy red and black fruits plus nuances of earth and spice, framed by softly grainy tannins and juicy acidity, finishing long and on a smoky note.”
