Pacific Northwest wines are the name of the September game at SOHO! What a fun region to explore as New World wines gain recognition.  With 500+ wineries available, it’s tough to pick only 12 to share with you this month, but we’re sure going to have a great time trying!

This week’s Flight Night begins on Wednesday, September 12, and the wines and their tapas will be available through September 18th.

First, SOHO will pour a Trisaetum Pinot Noir 2015 from Willamette Valley, OR . The winemaker offers,

“This Pinot Noir is a combination of barrels from our three estate vineyards, representing the best AVAs of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Ruby garnet in color with striking aromas of freshly ground nutmeg, Marion-berry, and wood spices. The palate exudes grace with red fruit flavors that finish with a hint of toasted oak. The lively acidity is balanced by finely-textured tannins and a firm, long finish.”

Next, SOHO will pour a L’Ecole No. 41 Syrah 2015 from Columbia Valley. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Dark, robust and spicy this full bodied Syrah shows rich flavors of black & blue berries, peppercorn, and licorice through an earthy finish.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Collusion Red Wine 2016 from Columbia Valley, WA. Notes on the wine,

“Garnet red in color, the wine opens with warm, sweet and inviting scents of blackberry jam, raspberry, forest floor, vanilla and cedar. The wine is very broad and open on the palate, with mingling flavors of fresh, ripe black cherry, restrained oak, vanilla and clove that continue well into the lingering finish. The luxurious mouthfeel provided by velvety, mature tannins assures that this wine will continue to improve in the bottle.”

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

First, SOHO will pour a Walt La Brisa Pinot Noir 2016 from Sonoma Coast. The winemaker offers,

“Vibrant ruby red in color, La Brisa Pinot Noir opens with hints of earth, crushed rose petals, and red fruits laced with a wild character.

Next, SOHO will pour a Gundlach Bundschu Mountain Cuvée 2016 from Sonoma County. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Welcoming aromas of cherries, raspberries, warm vanilla, and a little cola lead to a medium bodied wine framed by soft tannins and lively acidity. The silky texture showcases layers of lush cassis and red fruit with savory cocoa powder revealed on the finish. Created for life’s sooner-rather-than-later enjoyments.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a B.R. Cohn Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 from Alexander Valley. Notes on the wine,

Next, SOHO will pour a Chateau De Saint Cosme Côtes du Rhône – Les Deux Albion 2016 from Rhone. The wine is described by the winemaker,

SOHO is featuring our favorite French wines for the month of July, and we couldn’t be happier! You can stick close to home, but still enjoy the best parts of France without the sting of airfare and jet lag.  Sound good?

This week’s Flight Night begins on Wednesday, July 11th, and the wines and their tapas will be available through July 17th.

classic_french_vineyards

First, SOHO will pour a Bieler Pere et Fils Rosé 2017 from Provence. The winemaker offers,

“Bieler Pere et Fils Rose tastes like biting into a freesia-infused apple in a sexy-hippy version of the garden of Eden. It’s clean, light taste seems to promise that attractive strangers are about to drape your body in crisp, sun-dried linen before leading you to a hammock where sultry events will unfold. And with this Rose you don’t have to worry about morning-after guilt, because one sip will make even regret taste sweet.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Domaine de La Prébende Beaujolais 2016 from Beaujolais. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“The Anna Asmaquer Beaujolais is an old vines blend with profound minerality, a bright wild berry nose, and possesses typique Beaujolais finesse. The grapes are harvested manually and vinified completely without sulp[her dioxide. The wines are not chaptalized, filtered, or degassed and only natural yeasts are used for the fermentation. La Prébende crafts one of the best Beaujolais AOC values available today.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Chateau Saint-Andre Corbin St Georges-St Emilion 2015 from St Emilion, Bordeaux. Notes on the wine,

First, SOHO will pour a Ezzazuriz MAX Carmenere 2015 from Aconcagua Valley, Chile. The winemaker offers,

“The 2015 vintage of our Max Reserva Carmenere displays a beautiful ruby red color. On the nose, aromas of red roasted pepper, tobacco, dill, and mushrooms are complimented by a subtle note of blackberries and cherries. On the palate, the wine shows fresh and delicate flavors of cherry and plum complimented by a touch of spice, chocolate and roasted coffee beans. The wine is well balanced with mouth-watering acidity and round, soft tannins.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Piatelli Premium Reserve Malbec 2016 from Mendoza, Argentina. The wine is described by the winemaker,

“Intensely aromatic on the nose. Aromas of blueberries, plums, & blackberries. Extremely well balanced fruit to acidity balance. This is a medium to heavy weight wine. Mouth-filling, and smooth finish.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a Haras de Pirque Character Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 from Maipo Valley, Chile. Notes on the wine,

“Currant, raspberry, and some forest floor in the nose, also an herbaceous/minty quality.  Dark berries on the palate; and a nice soft mouthfeel with good body and tannic structure. Had a good, lasting finish with spice and more herbs, and mild oakiness throughout.

First, SOHO will pour a Bodega Colomé Torrontes 2017 from Calchaquí Valley, Salta, Argentina. The winemaker offers,

“Intense gold in colour with green tones, this wine has a bright floral nose with the citrus aroma of grapefruit and a hint of spice. On the palate, it is fresh and well structured with a crisp finish. This wine is elegant and fruity with tropical notes to the fore.”

Next, SOHO will pour a Altamana Grande Reserve Malbec ‘14 from Maule, Central Valley, Chile. The wine is described by the winemaker,

Finally, SOHO will pour a Cuvelier Los Andes – Colección 2011 from Valle de Uco, Argentina. Notes on the wine,

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.”
