Napa Pinot, Sauv Blanc, & Zin, Oh MY! What’s better than Napa wines for Flight Night? How about a Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, AND a Zinfandel? Yes, please!

You’ll love these wines this week, and you’ll REALLY love the tapas that accompany them, making for an overall delightful experience which starts tonight. Will we see you? We hope so!

This Flight Night begins on Wednesday, May 15th, and the wines and their tapas will be available through May 21st.

First, SOHO will pour a Honig Sauvignon Blanc 2018 from Napa Valley.  The winemaker offers,

“Bright, and fresh. The flavors and aromas are reminiscent of peaches, lemon curd, white grapefruit, and passion fruit with perfectly balanced notes of citrus, stone fruit. The fullness of the mid-palate is complemented by a crisp, lengthy finish.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Acacia Pinot Noir 2016 from Carneros, Napa Valley. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“The 2016 Carneros Pinot Noir opens beautifully offering layers of red-fruit aromas; Bing cherry, cranberry and sun-ripened raspberry. The aromas ring true on the silky textured palate where the juicy fruit core intermingles with baking spice, black tea and wet stone minerality.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Pozzan Zinfandel 2016 from Oakville, Napa Valley. Notes on the wine,

“The 2016 Michael Pozzan Oakville Zinfandel glows a deep ruby red in the glass. The nose is powerful, with explosive aromas of bright ripe raspberry, yellow peach, candied cherries, and a touch of sweet summer hay. The mouth is dramatically expressive, with volatile flavors of peach, boysenberry, cantaloupe, and milk chocolate, all balanced by a frame of sweet French oak – vanilla, cinnamon, and clove. The wine’s lengthy finish is pure Tahitian vanilla bean.”

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

This Flight Night begins on Wednesday, May 8th, and the wines and their tapas will be available through May 14th.

First, SOHO will pour Sequoia Grove Chardonnay 2015 from Napa Valley.  The winemaker offers,

“The nose pops with an immediate hit of fresh lemon rolling quickly into lemon curd and warm toasted almonds. The fresh fruit nose is balanced nicely with secondary aromas of custard and brioche, ripe melon, pear, and poached pear. On the palate the wine is full of flavor: perfectly nutty toast and marzipan. The mid-palate is creamy with a hint of nutmeg and finishing with fresh citrus.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Elyse Nero Misto 2015 from Napa Valley. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Like a hippo on a tightrope, the 2015 Nero Misto (Italian for “Mixed Black”) is big, bodacious, and above all, balanced. Dark purple in color with aromas of briar patch, green peppercorns, violets, and earth, this homage to the Cal-Ital blends of early Napa is a serious red wine. On the palate, it offers a lively and focused mouthfeel with mixed berry flavors and an amazing balance of fruit, tannin, and acidity.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Robert Mondavi Cabernet 2016 from Napa Valley. Notes on the wine,

“Our 2016 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon delivers mouth filling, deeply intense blackberry fruit across the palate with clove and cardamom spice complexity and dusty tannins that add structure to the juicy fullness of the fruit.”

The way to a great May ➡ Napa wines at SOHO! You know we ❤ our Napa wines, and we know you do too! Come join us in celebrating May with our favorite Napa wineries + Chef Joey’s culinary delights to pair with them!

This Flight Night begins on Wednesday, May 1st, and the wines and their tapas will be available through May 7th.

First, SOHO will pour Swanson Merlot 2016 from Napa Valley.  The winemaker offers,

“Deep dark in the glass with gorgeous aromas of blue fruit, pie crust and a touch of coconut husk. On the palate the rich texture combines well with the full bodied tannins and ripe plum along with cassis flavors. Layers of fruit intertwine with subtle secondary flavors of briar, cigar box and a touch of graphite minerality. Drinking well now but will improve with careful cellaring over the next 8-12 years.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Robert Mondavi Pinot Noir 2015 from Carneros, Napa Valley. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“The heady aromatics and refined silkiness of pinot noir show themselves here with a swirl of wild dark cherry and ripe, red plum aromas seamlessly layered with hints of dusty cocoa and dried herb complexity finishing with an intriguing touch of pink peppercorn spice to round out the lush fruit. 100% Pinot Noir.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Unum “Spring Mountain” Red 2013 from Napa Valley. Notes on the wine,

“Massive concentration, offering jammy plum, blackberry, and sweet tobacco. Finishes with roasted vanilla, baking spices, and lingering ripe tannins.”
