  • Private Reserve
    2013 PRIVATE RESERVE VINTAGE NOTES: California winegrowers celebrated the 2013 vintage after a long, sunny year. Temperatures were consistent and resulted in very healthy vines throughout the ripening process. 2013 produced fruit with excellent structure as well as an abundance of ripe fruit, not often found together. TASTING NOTES: Both the nose and the flavors of this gorgeous deep-purple Cabernet Sauvignon are consistent. Aromas begin with plum, blackberry, black currant with a soft earthiness. The flavors grow with black currant and a bit of tobacco. The finish is soft and inviting. PAIRING GUIDE: Vegetarian: Slow Cooker Vegetable Ragout with Polenta, Black-Bean Burgers Meats: Bacon-wrapped Filet Mignon, Prime Rib Roast Seafood: Salmon Wellington, Southwest Tilapia Cheeses: Bleu, Extra Sharp Cheddar TECHNICAL NOTES: Appellation: California Varietal Composition: 84% Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot Alcohol: 12.5% ABOUT WINDSOR VINEYARDS: Founded by vintner Rodney Strong, Windsor Vineyards has been the home of prized wines for over 50 years. We get to pick and choose from the best vineyards in California. Each wine is expertly crafted by our team of award-winning winemakers and artisans just for you. C B 2017 PINOT NOIR California TASTING NOTES Aromas of pomegranate, cranberry, black cherry, and juicy strawberry draws a lot of attention to this Pinot Noir. The dark ruby garnet color retention is fascinating with tastes of subtle vanilla, cotton candy, and strawberry jam with well-balanced acidity. RECOMMENDED FOOD PAIRING Spanish stuffed tomatoes, roasted duck leg, parmesan-thyme mushrooms COMPOSITION 98% Pinot Noir, 2% Syrah ALCOHOL 12.5% by volume WHITE ZINFANDEL VINTAGE 2017 tasting notes The pink fuchsia color accents the kiwi-straw- berry, candied cherry, and light floral aromas.
