Throughout March, SOHO is spotlighting the wines and flavors of California. While we love the wine of Napa Valley, the rest of the state produces exceptional wines as well, so grab a seat and enjoy the other wine regions of California. Paired with tapas by Chef Joey Zelinka, our flights are sure to please!

This week’s Flight Night begins on Wednesday, March 28 and the wines and their tapas will be available through April 4.

First, SOHO will pour a 2014 Ojai Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara. The winemaker offers,

“Lightly chilled, this 2014 Pinot Noir exhibits a knock out aroma of pretty dried flowers and it goes down with altogether too much ease.”

Next, SOHO will pour a 2015 Klinker Brick Old Vine Zinfandel from Lodi. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Our Old Vine Zinfandel is a blend of 16 different vineyard blocks of old vine zinfandel vineyards with an average age of 86 years. With berries and spice on the nose, dark, sweet fruit fills the palate with just a hint of black peper. This wine has a long, lingering finish.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2015 Justin Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles. Notes on the wine,

“Full bodied with bright black cherry, black currant and berry fruit with an underpinning of oak barrel accents on entry. The mid palate show continued fruit with savory herbal notes, mint and a hint of violet. The finish is clean, long and layered with lingering dark fruits surrounded by soft chewy tannins balanced by crisp acidity and subtle floral notes.”

SOHO’s Executive Chef Joey Zelinka has created a suggested tapa plate to pair with each of the wines!

First, SOHO will pour a 2015 Stoplman Viognier from Ballard Canyon. The tasting notes for the wine,

“Classic Viognier notes of white peach and apricot backed with crushed stone. Hints of orange blossom denote a lively, acidic backbone. The time in the barrel gives a nice roundness and approachability for early drinking.”

Next, SOHO will pour a 2014 Ojai Syrah from Santa Barbara. The wine is described,

“Possessing lots of cool climate characteristics in its peppery, blackberry, violets and mineral-laced aromas and flavors, the 2014 Syrah Santa Barbara is fresh, elegant and medium-bodied on the palate, with nicely integrated acidity and fine tannin. it’s a classy, easy-drinking Syrah that has real character.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2015 Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles. The winemaker says,

“Deep ruby in color the 2015 Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon expresses intense fragrances of black currants, ripe black cherries and blackberries with subtle notes of violets, mocha and dried spices. It’s a big, powerful, modern-styled wine with velvety tannins and heaps of juicy blackberry and cherry fruit, while nuances of cedar, clove and vanilla bean round out the long, smooth finish.”

SOHO’s Executive Chef Joey Zelinka has created a suggested tapa plate to pair with each of the wines!

First, SOHO will pour a 2013 Steele “Block N” Pinot Noir from Bien Nacido Vineyard in Santa Barbara. The winemaker notes,

“This vineyard, given its coastal influence, produces a wine with freshly picked strawberry, bing cherries, cloves and spice, aromas and flavors. But still has a balance of acidity and a finish that lingers of sweet tobacco and spices.

Next, SOHO will pour a 2013 Meyer Family Cellars Syrah from Yorkville Highlands. The wine is described,

“bursts with a ripe mixture of huckleberry, blueberry, and plum. Behind the fruit a savory backdrop mingles with violet, pepper, and wet earth. Two years in a barrel has softened the palate and added aromas of vanilla, cedar and clove.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2015 Halter Ranch “Synthesis” from Paso Robles. The winemaker offers the following tasting notes:

“A perennial favorite at Halter Ranch, Synthesis is our Cabernet Sauvignon based blend that continues to over deliver in deliciosity. Both red and black fruits and cassis dominate the nose, followed by flavors of black cherry and plums. Smooth and approachable, this wine is great on its own, but also pairs with virtually everything.”

SOHO’s Executive Chef Joey Zelinka has created a suggested tapa plate to pair with each of the wines!

Steele “Block N” Pinot Noir 2013
100% Pinot Noir
Paired with: Grilled Tuna, Roasted Fingerling Potatoes, Sauce Gribiche

Grapes

 

First, SOHO will pour a Lieu Dit Sauvignon Blanc 2016 from Santa Ynez Valley. The wine is described,

“The 2016 Sauvignon Blanc is absolutely gorgeous. Melon, pear, fig and sage are all beautifully delineated in the glass.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Smith & Hook Red Blend 2014 from the Central Coast. The wine’s tasting notes,

“Opulent aromas of blackberry and cherry, accompanied by vanilla and toasted oak. The refined yet robust palate is full bodied, lush and structured with layers of black fruit and toasted oak.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Mettler Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 from Lodi. The winemaker says,

“It opens with inviting aromas of dark cherry, cola, cedar, mineral and earth. The graceful mingling of cherry, cranberry and sweet oak flavors have a freshness of character and a whisper of vanilla. On the palate, the rich mouthfeel is moderated by juicy acidity, and the long finish is reminiscent of a fine Bordeaux.”
