Over the past decade South American Wines have taken the world by storm!  First it was Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere, and more recently Malbec from Argentina, especially from the Mendoza and Salta regions in the Andean foothills. Get ready for Tannat from Uruguay…it’s the next big thing! SOHO is bringing the best to you in Atlanta, and we’re excited to share these gems with you.

This week’s Flight Night begins on Wednesday, June 6th, and the wines and their tapas will be available through June 12th.

First, SOHO will pour a Familia Deicas Tannat 2015 from Uruguay. The winemaker offers,

“The wine has a deep violet color, intense fig, floral, and mineral aromas, with a juicy palate texture and bright, fresh finish.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Pascual Toso Reserva Malbec 2015 from Maipú, Mendoza. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“This is a solid red with a dense and chewy texture. Full bodied, layered and rich. Tight focused. Very pretty. Drink now or hold.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Cousiño-Macul Dama De Plata 2015 from Maipo, Chile. Notes on the wine,

“Of an elegant violet color and a complex aroma composition, Dama de Plata has a fruity nose, filled with cherries, plums and spices. In mouth you will find elegant and firm tannins. This wine is a medium bodied wine, with an excellent balance between fruit and oak.”

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

Adios May! Anyone else think that this month went WAY too quickly? Fortunately, we have five weeks in May to feature our Napa wines for Flight Night, so you get an extra serving of all those good California grapes! In true SOHO fashion, we have saved three outstanding reds to finish out the month.  See you next year, Napa!

This week’s Flight Night begins on Wednesday, May 30th, and the wines and their tapas will be available through June 5th.

First, SOHO will pour a Conn Creek Herrick Red 2013 from Napa Valley. The winemaker offers,

“Bold red and black berries cradle vanilla and floral accents. The berries unfold on the palate into notes of tapenade and espresso powder, finishing with boisterous tannins.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Flora Springs Merlot 2013 from Napa. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“The 2014 vintage unfolds with inviting aromas of dark plum and black cherry and hints of cardamom, nutmeg and cinnamon spice. In the mouth the deep purple fruit flavors unfurl on a richly textured palate, joined by notes of sassafras, baked pie crust and dusty cocoa. A judicious touch of oak adds a toasty vanilla accent to the wine, and its long finish carries a tinge of sweet tobacco and dark chocolate.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Trefethen Oak Knoll Cabernet 2015 from Napa. Notes on the wine,

“Deep ruby in color, this exquisite Cabernet Sauvignon opens with fragrant notes of blackberry, bay leaf, coffee and chocolate. The palate is supported by velvety tannins and features flavors that tend more towards red cherries and baking spices.”

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