SOHO is continuing our celebration of our favorite wines from Italy!  This week’s Flight Night begins on Wednesday September 21st, and the wines and their tapas will be available through Tuesday, September 28th!

First, SOHO will pour a 2012 Castello di Neive Barbera D’Asti from Alba.  The winemaker offers the following tasting notes,

“Deep ruby red, intense aromas of black fruits and licorice complement chocolate, mocha, and hints of Ti-Tree oil. Great acidity and well integrated oak lead to great structure and a long finish.”

Next, SOHO will pour a 2014 Fontanafredda Ebbio Nebbiolo from Langhe, DOC.  The wine is described as,

Color: Deep ruby red with violet highlights.  Aroma: Complex nose with traces of withered flowers, such as roses and, geraniums.  Taste: Warm, soft, and inviting, with velvety tannins, great balance and a lingering finish.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2011 Tenuta Marsiliana Birillo from Manciano, Maremma. The winemaker says,

“Birillo is the epitome of a joyful, fruity wine made from cabernet sauvignon and merlot.  The deep, brilliant violet in the glass has a mysterious smoothness that characterizes the nose with aromas of jam and strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, Mediterranean herbs, and black olives. The tannins are balanced with its agility and with lightly toasted notes that accompany the prevailing density of its fruit, until the final flavorful, refreshing sip.”

SOHO’s Executive Chef, Jeff Sigler, has created tapas plates for each of the wines!

First, SOHO will pour a 2014 MacRostie Chardonnay from Sonoma County. The winemaker offers the following tasting notes,

“The wine is pale straw gold in color.  Lemon peel, green melon rind and  young pineapple aromas introduce this wine to the nose. The palate follows, soft and smooth, with just a touch of lemon pith structure. There is pronounced weight in the mid palate with a unique mineral personality that will leave you thinking of a fresh lemon infused olive oil.”

Next, SOHO will pour a 2012 Arrowood Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma Coast. The wine is described as,

“Our 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is intense with aromas of dark cherry and red plum. Notes of violet and blueberry jam come through on the mid palate along with nuanced spice and licorice. The concentrated mouth feel and soft tannins are a testament to this great vintage, coating the palate with a lingering red fruit finish.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2013 Rodney Strong Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from Knights Valley . The winemaker says,

“This deeply colored Cabernet is bursting with aromas of spicy dark plum and crushed blackberries with a hint of blueberry. The complex layers of spice and chocolate on the palate are framed in rich, velvety tannins with a long lingering finish.”

Next, SOHO will pour a 2014 Chalk Hill Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast.   The wine is described as,

“Dense aromas of raspberry, cherry cola, forest floor and juniper berry entice the senses as this 2014 Pinot Noir opens in the glass. On the palate, the wine showcases similar red fruit flavors of raspberry and maraschino cherry, but with the additional notes of dill, smoke and crème brûlée.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2012 Chateau St Jean Cabernet from Sonoma.  The winemaker says,

“… vivid aromas of blackberry and boysenberry fruit along with brown spice notes clove and nutmeg. The nose leads to a generous, well-structured wine with a ripe fruit core and warm vanilla crème. The rich and flavorful palate has smooth tannins and a lingering finish.”
