Valentines Day Wine Tasting (Clarksville Location)

Feb 9th, 2012

Join us on February 9th from 5 - 8 PM as we hold our Valentines Wine Tasting.  We have selections that are perfect for your sweetheart on this special day.  Here is the lineup:

• Mercer Riesilng: Brimming with fresh fruit, the 2009 Riesling displays fresh apricot, peach and tangerine supported by lanolin and lime. Peach and apricot aromas are complimented by tea leaf on the palate with lively acidity and minerality. The finish is long, off-dry and deftly balanced of acid and sugar.
  
  
• Samantha Starr Chardonnay - This delicious Chardonnay was stainless steel fermented to retain the pure fruit flavors and aged in French oak barrels for added complexity. Medium straw in color, the nose shows balanced elements of tropical fruits and fresh citrus. On the palate it exhibits ripe bananas, peach and just a hint of toasty oak. The long, crisp finish is soft with sweet yeasty overtones. This is a wonderful food friendly wine that will pair well with a variety of dishes.
  
  
• Chook Sparkling Shiraz - Vivid ruby, with a frothy mousse. Bright raspberry and cherry on the nose and palate, with subtle white pepper and spice notes adding vibrancy. Nervy and less sweet than most versions of this genre, with good back-end lift and tangy bite. Finishes with good clarity and a strong echo of fresh red berries.
  
  
• Plungerhead Zinfandel - With deep garnet color, the nose reminds one of caramelized oak, chocolate covered strawberries, and savory subtle sage. The mouthfeel is soft but the flavors are vibrant with notes of cassis, vanilla rum, pecan pie, and black cherries with a warm, lingering finish.
  
  
• Mollydooker Two Left Feet - With complex aromas of raspberry, plum, white chocolate and a touch of smoky earth, this is rich and layered with spicy dark fruit, chocolate and silky tannins. This blend has superb aromas of butterscotch, plum, white chocolate, cherries and raspberry. Its big, unctuous texture and incredibly dense, spicy fruit give you a wonderfully rounded mouth-feel and a silky smooth finish.
  
  
• Twenty Bench Cabernet Sauvignon - True to the Twenty Bench style, deep, dark hue, rich, complex nose with dense color, lots of cassis, blackberry, licorice and quite lush, good natural vineyard concentration and balanced with nice vanilla oak. This is a profound example of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that can easily hang with Napa Cabs at twice the price.

This event is free and open to the public (21 and older)
