ChardonnayGlass Bottl

Geyser Peak Alexander Valley Chardonnay 10 32The color is a pale yellow with golden luminosity. Attractive aromas of baked bread, wheat sheaves,fleshy stone fruit and pear lead on the nose and turn to honeycomb, nectarine and toasted almond on th

palate. Lifted aromatics of ginger root and butterscotch are apparent upon swirling the glass. The wine

shows a lovely balance between ripe fruit character and more sophisticated earth notes. This is a unique

wine that expresses all the benefits of its terrior-driven origin.

Francis Coppola Gold Label Chardonnay 10 32This Chardonnay reflects the distinctive personality of Monterrey vineyards, which boast juicy apple,

guava and melon flavors. Whole-cluster pressing and a combination of barrel and stainless steel fermen

tation ensures that the creamy texture and caramelized sugar finish is balanced by a crisp acidity. Try th

wine with Tandoori Fish - Mahi or JHINGA (Shrimp) and Tandoori Chicken or Chicken Jhalfrazie.

La Crema Russian River Chardonnay 18 5Chardonnay is a chameleon readily taking on the character of growing site and winemaking technique

Cloaked in the cool coastal fog from the nearby Pacific Ocean, Chardonnay grown in the Russian River

Valley retains lively acidity and crispness as it ripens slowly in the moderate climate. We love the vibrant

perfumed aromatics that play against fresh, bright fruit flavors.

This vintage opens with aromas of yellow apple, crme brle, honey and spice over a juicy palate of

baked pear and bright citrus. Rich and elegant, this is an exceptional food wine.

Ferrari-Carano Alexander Valley Chardonnay 14 4This Chardonnay is a delicious wine with floral and fruit aromas of pear, Fuji apple, citrus and honeygraham cracker with a hint of rich caramel and toasted coconut marshmallow. Generous on the palate,

creamy vanilla undertones balance layers of toast and spice on the finish, while the tropical flavors linge

to the end.

Sonoma Cutrer Russian River Ranches Chardonnay 15` 4Big. Really big. Very pretty aromas of jasmine and rose petal come quickly back to more expect tropica

fruits like pineapple, mango, and a bit of pear. Roasted hazelnut is joined with nougat and almond butter

finishing with a touch of lime and lychee. The wine is medium weight, clean with a wonderful acid back-

bone, and it expands from your first sip to your last offering flavors of citrus, grapefruit, lemon, pear, and

kumquat, with subtle vanilla bean and a bit of herbal mushroom, with a lingering, memorable finish with

hints of minerality and apple, lime, and a surprisingly wonderful touch of strawberry. Its a market basketof flavors, and one I know youll enjoy. - Wine maker Terry. Estate Bottled 100% Chardonnay, aged in

Simi Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc 10 32The grapes for Simi Winerys Sauvignon Blanc represent the best of Sonoma County. The nal blend

is a reection of grapes from prestigious vineyards with climates vastly different from one another

throughout Sonoma County . Warmer climates produce g and melon avors and a silky texture. Cooler

climates contribute grass, lemon and mineral characteristics and a bright, zingy acid component.

rechini Cellars Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 10 32This wine displays a brilliant, almost sparkling Lime green hue. The nose is beautifully complex with arich depth of minerality, melon, and crisp grapefruit. The palate is powerfully refreshing. This minerality

persists intertwining with the fruit as it expands across the palate to an almost seamless nish. Small

poping of tropical avors and crisp clean acidity throughout the wines delicious journey. Small hints of

lime, sweet lemon-grass, and clean minerality help drive this complex and very satisfying Sauvignon

Blanc to the last drop.

Zinfandel

Glass BottlLencioni Russian River Zin 15 48Up-front, fruit-forward, and immediately enjoyable, these wines exude attractive youthfulness, but also

contain enough complexity to give evidence of the winemakers craft.

Seghesio Sonoma Zinfandel 79The family roots are rmly planted in Zinfandel as their Great-Grandfather, Edoardo Seghesio, rst

planted Zinfandel on our Alexander Valley Home Ranch in 1895. Today, they share his passion as

they farm over 400 acres of estate Zinfandel in the worlds best growing regions for the grape --

Alexander and Dry Creek Valleys. This wine combines sites that have produced Zinfandel for over a

century with newer sites that utilize proprietary clones and the most advanced viticultural practices.

XYZin - 100 Year The Dry Creek Valley is in my opinion the spiritual home of the Zinfandel grape thus it is tting thatour oldest vines reside there on the eastern benchland overlooking the valley below. These sturdy

vines produce small, deeply colored berries that yield rich, concentrated wines with a pleasingly

familiar array of avors and textures. Remarkable for its depth of color and early drinkability the wine

displays plum and blueberry fruit on the nose along with a whiff of crystallized ginger. On the palate

the abundant pomegranate and dried strawberry fruit is further rened by accents of espresso and

graphite. A whisper of tarragon leaf adds dimension and polish to the wine.

Rancho Zabaco Heritage Vines Zin 10 32Approachable with lots of ripe dark fruit avors of blackberry and black cherry complimented by bright

red fruit avors of raspberry and strawberry.

SyrahCline Sonoma Syrah 10 32This Zinfandel shows concentrated spicy strawberry, rm tannin structure and a balanced acidity. It has

a mouth-coating richness and depth and a subtle vanilla quality that compliments the dark fruit avors.

This wine can be enjoyed now or cellared for ve to seven years. An excellent accompaniment to

Tandoori grilled meats and vegetables or Biryanis.

Francis Coppola Green Label Syrah - Shiraz 10 32Intense plum and clove aromas are the friendly greeting from our Green Label Syrah-Shiraz. made from

grapes grown in Paso Robles and Monterey, this concentrated and complex wine has soft tannins, and

blackberry and boysenberry avors layered with notes of smoky bacon, sweet vanilla, and bittersweet

chocolate. An incredible wine of fruit intensity and avor makes it an ideal accompaniment to SHEEKH

KABAB or Lamb Boti Kabab.

Cabernet SauvignonGlass Bottl

Clos Du Bois Cabernet Sauvignon 12 32This Cabernet Sauvignon ranks among our most popular Classics varietals. We carefully select the

grapes to achieve the richness and balance associated with Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon.

Up to four weeks of fermentation and maceration (time in contact with the grape skins) develops the

optimum color and avor in the wine, while aging in 60-gallon oak barrels adds softness and a light

vanillin overtone. The nished wine exhibits deep, berry avors, a peppery character and a subtleoverlay of oak. Try this wine with rich, meat-sauced curry dishes or grilled Lamb Boti Kababs

Simi Reserve Alexander Valley Cab 15 48Sonoma Countys Alexander Valley possesses the greatest diversity of soil types of any wine growing

region in California. Dramatic geological activity has created numerous soil types and micro climates

allowing Simi Winery to select from a diverse range of vineyard sources for wines of distinct avor,

texture and character.

Simi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is created by keeping each vineyard block separate throughout the

wine making process. Wine maker Steve Reeder selects the best vineyard lots for the nal blend. The

complexity of this wine is created not only from our vineyard sites, but also from blending with otherclassic Bordeaux varietals.

This unique combination of vineyard sites and varietals result in a wine that is both powerful and

elegant, with Alexander Valleys signature luscious, velvety tannins.

MerlotGeyser Peak Merlot 13 42Dense and polished this wine shows a lovely mix of brown spice, peppercorn, and sage on the nose.

The palate is a riot of rich dark fruit showcasing plush cherry, black raspberry, and pomegranate. Fine

tannins provide a great framework for this supple wine and make it a good candidate for medium-term

cellaring.Rodney Strong Russian River Merlot 10 32Plum and blueberry avors predominate in this soft, rich, mouth lling merlot, and are enhanced y

aging in small oak barrels for a toasty, spicy vanilla character, and a lingering berry-cream nish. With

100 acres in the Alexander Valley and the northern portion of the Russian River Valley. Together, these

areas display the bright, red fruit character of the Russian River with the deep dark fruit avors and

with an amazing complexity of soil types, results in wine that reects the individual vineyards and

highlights the common thread of a great growing area. An elegant, medium bodied Pinot Noir. Aromas

wine is soft and velvety with juicy cherry-berry avors with just a bit of spiciness.

La Crema Sonoma Coast 74Pinot Noir develops beautifully in the cool vineyards of the Sonoma Coast. Extending from the

Mendocino/Sonoma border down along the coast and through the Russian River Valley, then south to

Los Carneros, these vineyards are unied by a common feature: lingering ocean fog and brisk windsthat moderate temperatures throughout the growing season and slow the ripening process. The results

at harvest are small Pinot Noir berries with rm acidity and highly concentrated varietal aromas and

avors that center on juicy cherry and spice.

A perennial favorite, this Pinot Noir offers aromas of lush cherry and red plum, with subtle hints of black

tea and cola. On the palate, avors are ripe and elegant, centering on red cherry and spice with a touc

of earthiness and dark chocolate. A rich, juicy mid-palate and vivid acidity lead to plush tannins on the

nish. The result is a fabulous, appealing food wine enjoy.
