First, SOHO will pour a 2007 Clarendon Hills ‘Brookman’ Merlot from Australia. The Wine Advocate says of the wine, “The wines made from Bordeaux varietals begin with the 2007 Merlot Brookman which spent 18 months in 85% new French oak. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it exhibits a superb nose of toast, pencil lead, spice box, black currant, and blackberry. This leads to a medium to full-bodied wine with a supple texture, excellent grip, and complex, savory flavors.”

Next, SOHO will pour a 2012 Yangarra Kangrilla McLaren Vale Shiraz from Australia. The winamaker describes the wine, “The 2012 is a classic Yangarra Shiraz, with bright black fruits and black peppercorn spice. There are layers of complexity with chocolate and charcuterie, woven together with fine grainy tannins.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2012 Heartland Wines ‘Spice Trader’ from Australia. The winemaker says of the wine, “This a very dark glass of juicy and delicious red. A burst of intense primary fruit greets the palate with blueberries, blackberries and currants.”

SOHO’s executive chef, Scott Warren, and sous chef, Chris Lyons, have created a tapas plate to pair with each wine.

First, SOHO will pour a 2012 Yalumba ‘The Strapper” GSM from Barossa, Australia. Wine Spectator says of the wine, “Rich, ripe and velvety, this is dense without being heavy-handed, with cherry, blackberry, pomegranate and spice flavors that dance through the vigorous finish.”

Next, SOHO will pour a 2012 Pikes ‘Eastside’ Shiraz from Clare Valley, Australia. The winemaker offers the following notes, “Aroma: Ripe plum and black cherry fruit with hints of mocha, graphite and some spicy notes as well. A nice touch of charry French oak in the background mix. Palate: Medium-bodied with the ripe, dark fruits to the fore with balanced acidity and savory tannins giving length and structure to the wine.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2013 Yangarra Old Vine Grenache from Kangarilla, McLaren Vale, Australia. The winemaker describes the wine, “One of the more perfumed vintages, the Old Vine Grenache has pretty floral aromas and bright red fruits. The palate shows lots of bright cherry fruit and the vineyards typical fine line of sandy mineral tannins and acidity.”

SOHO’s executive chef, Scott Warren, and sous chef, Chris Lyons, have created a tapas plate to pair with each wine.

Throughout the month of November, SOHO will showcase the wines and flavors of Australia and New Zealand. The tour begins on flight night Wednesday, November 4. The wines and tapas introduced Wednesday will be available through Tuesday, November 10.

AustraliaFirst, SOHO will pour a 2014 Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand. The winemaker offers the following tasting notes: “A musky fusion of sweet scented fruits – nectarines, peaches and nashi pears with a dash of orange zest – intermingled with a floral perfume reminiscent of star jasmine and citrus blossom. A generous palate with citrus and cassis flavors, deliciously ripe and succulent, finishing with that classic Marlborough zing.”

Next, SOHO will pour a 2014 Kim Crawford Pinot Noir from Marlborough/Central Otago, New Zealand. The winemaker describes the wine, “Smell: Rich, ripe fruit aromas of red and black berries, complemented by hints of licorice and spice, with subtle oak influences. Taste: Deliciously ripe dark cherry and blackberry flavors provide a pleasant sweetness. Silky soft tannins give structure and weight to the wine and wonderful acidity balances the sweet fruit characteristics.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2014 Wirra Wirra ‘Catapult’ Shiraz from McClaren Vale, Australia. The winemaker says: “Bouquet: Bright and lifted blueberry, sweet raspberry and pepper. Layers of youthful shiraz fruits are complimented by sweet spices, dry herbs and delicate florals. Palate: The palate shows stylish, medium-bodied structure while offering generous volumes of flavor and texture. A heady mix of blue fruits, damson plum, anise and peaty, savory notes is countered with bright acidity and silky, plush tannins. This elegant balance produces a long and supple palate that continues to invite another taste.”

SOHO’s executive chef, Scott Warren, and sous chef, Chris Lyons, have created a tapas plate to pair with each wine.
