First, SOHO will pour a 2012 Saint Clair ‘Vicar’s Choice’ Pinot Noir from Marlborough, New Zealand. The winemakers describes the aroma: “Black currents and ripe red cherries interlaced with floral notes, aromatic spices and coffee.” As for the palate of the Pinot Noir: “Fresh black cherries and ripe black currents combine with balanced acidity, fine structured tannin and inviting fresh coffee finish.”

Next, SOHO will pour a 2010 Tournon ‘Mathilde’ Shiraz from Victoria, Australia. This Shiraz was rated 91 points by Robert Parker from Wine Advocate. On the nose the wine is deep with black fruits and pepper aromas. On the palate it supple and greedy with silky and elegant tannins.

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2011 Robert Oatley Cabernet Sauvignon from Margaret River, Australia. The winemaker says of the wine: “A full-flavoured yet finely structured Cabernet of great appeal: black berries, dried leaves and fine gravelly tannin, reflect an outstanding year.”

SOHO’s executive chef, Joe Ahn, has created three tapas plates to pair with each Australian and New Zealand wine.

Penley Vineyards, Australia

First, SOHO will pour a 2012 ‘Chasing Venus’ Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand. The winemaker says of the wine: “New Zealand’s cooler than normal growing season shows up as crisp, pungent gooseberry flavors in our 2012 Chasing Venus Sauvignon Blanc. Aggressive aromas of fresh mown grass and bright lemon jump from the glass. Flavors of zesty lime mingle with stony minerals and herbs with just a hint of the classic bright grapefruit flavors in the background. The finish is tangy and juicy with bright acidity.”

Next, SOHO will pour a 2010 Craggy Range ‘Te Kahu’ from Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. The winemaker describes the wine: “Bold aromatics of black fruits. Boysenberry, blackberry and plum dominate the subtle varietal aromatics of fresh mint and thyme with some cinnamon showing from its time in oak. The palate is fresh and lively. Lovely fine tannins surround a ripe core of sweet fruit with good acidity providing balance and length.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2010 Penley Estate ‘Phoenix’ Cabernet Sauvignon from Coonawarra, Australia. The winemaker notes: “The fragrant aroma consists of violets,black currant leaf, ripe wild berry and integrated spice of the Cabernet grape…Complex and well integrated oak characters are evident on the bouquet. Mulberry and blackberry are dominant fruit flavors enhanced by a young tight palate with silky grape tannin and elegant complex cedar oak…A very generous mid palate with a hint of liquorice and chocolate that lingers on the finish.”

SOHO’s executive chef, Joe Ahn, has created three tapas plates to pair with each New Zealand and Australian wine.

2012 ‘Chasing Venus’ Sauvignon Blanc
100% Sauvignon Blanc
Paired with: Tempura tuna with wasabi guacamole

2010 Craggy Range ‘Te Kahu’

Atlanta, flight night, restaurant, SOHO, tapas, wine

SOHO Atlanta restaurant will spotlight the wines and flavors of Australia and New Zealand throughout the month of November. The celebration of the southern hemisphere begins on flight night Wednesday, November 6. The wines and tapas introduced Wednesday will be available through Tuesday, November 12.

First, SOHO will pour a 2012 Babich Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay from New Zealand. The wine is described as featuring: “Finely focused aroma of citrus and peach.  Biscuit notes. Soft fruited entry, nectarine and toffee flavors.”

Next, SOHO will pour a 2010 Tait Ball Buster from Barossa Valley, Australia. The winemaker describes the red blend: “An expressive, heady bouquet gives out candied red fruits, potpourri and Asian spices, with a smoky nuance gaining power in the glass. Rich but lively, offering vibrant raspberry and cherry-cola flavors and notes of allspice and star anise. Sweet and silky on a finish that keeps on with impressive tenacity and spiciness.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2010 d’Arenberg “The Footbolt” Shiraz from McLaren Vale, Australia. The wine is described: “The nose is full of the fresh berries and spice synonymous with McLaren Vale, with a slight eucalypt lift. The palate is mouth-coating and plush with red and purple fruits mingling with orange peel and earth. There is a welcomed kick of five spice on the back palate. The lifted and fine fruit tannins provide structure and pull the wine together nicely.”

SOHO’s executive chef, Joe Ahn, has crafted three tapas plates to pair with each New Zealand and Australian wine.

2012 Babich Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay
100% Chardonnay
