Tasting Notes:
-
Aroma: Enticing scents of ripe black cherry are complemented by subtle hints of tobacco and herbal spice, creating a rich and inviting bouquet.
- Palate: The wine opens with smoky black cherry flavors, seamlessly transitioning to spiced plum on the mid-palate. Its medium-bodied nature, combined with soft tannins and a rounded mouthfeel, culminates in a plush, lingering finish.
Winemaking Process:
Sutter Home sources grapes from premier vineyards across California's cool coastal regions and warmer inland areas. This diverse sourcing contributes to the wine's balanced flavor profile. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures, preserving the vivid cherry flavors and aromatic qualities. A brief aging period in American oak tanks enhances the wine's supple, silky-smooth texture.

Herb-Roasted Meats: The wine's fruit-forward profile complements the savory flavors of herb-infused roasted meats.
-
Plank-Grilled Salmon: Its balanced acidity and soft tannins enhance the rich, oily character of grilled salmon.
-
Spaghetti Bolognese: The spiced plum notes harmonize with the hearty, tomato-based sauce of this classic pasta dish.
