Our winemaker has hand chosen these wines especially for our members. We hope you enjoy the selections.

White Cabernet Club

NV VS White Cabernet Sauvignon

Data: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Alc: 12%, PH: 3.43, TA: 6.32, RS: 2.5

A true “white” wine with big aromas, strawberry, melon and peach are prominent with subtle floral back notes. This wines fruit plays on the palate integrating well with its acidity and sweetness, notes of strawberry and melon come to mind. Pair this wine with spicy Thai dishes, curry spiced dishes or fruit vinaigrette salads with goat cheese.

Sparkling Sangria

Data: French Columbard, Chardonnay, Alc: 11%, PH: 3.29, TA: 6.2, RS: 5.8

The Sparkling Sangria has a lush purple-violet fuchsia color. Persistent small bubbles form a light mousse on top. Designed for a broad range of palates, Wilson Creek Sparkling Sangria features a taste medley straight from the Southern Mediterranean with a fresh nose of lemon, lime and orange zest, followed by a smooth finish of ripe red berries, cranberry, pomegranate and a hint of blood orange. The sweetness is finely balanced with the wine’s acidity. Lingering in the finish are sweet berries, citrus and spice. Sparkling Sangria is fermented naturally and leans toward the cuvée style of champagnes. Like its cousins, Peach Bellini, Orange Mimosa and the “OH My Gosh” Almond Sparkling Wine, Wilson Creek Sparkling Sangria delivers a unique blend of tastes in a classic cuvée style. Soft or pungent cheeses such as Pepperjack are a good match. Pairs well with spicy food, tapas, calamari, fried shrimp and spicy meatballs. This versatile sparkler is perfect to drink anytime as well as a favorite for special occasions and celebrations.

Vardande displays a deep ruby color, it lures with aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, and touch of spice. On the palate, flavors of ripe black fruits, hints of cocoa, and a subtle herbal note unfold, supported by velvety tannins and a lingering finish.

earthy and meaty flavors of the mushroom harmonize with the wine’s depth and complexity. Add some caramelized onions, melted cheese and toasted bun to bring out the flavors.
