Wine Tips - Artesa Cabernet and Clover Hill Riesling
Greetings from Vintage Connections!
This Week's Wine Tips
Artesa Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
This rich, deep red wine comes from two counties in California. Sixty-three percent of the cabernet came from Napa County and thirty-seven percent came from Sonoma County.
The aroma is full of dark red fruits with flavors of spice, leather, cassis and cherries. Tannins are still noticeably present, but not overpowering. The finish is long and satisfying. Alcohol is 14.2% by volume. PLCB product code is 15925 and is currently a Chairman’s Select. It sells for $12.99 a bottle and is available at many PA Wine and Spirit stores.
Clover Hill Vineyards Riesling
This semi-sweet Riesling from Clover Hill Vineyards in Breinigsville, PA has a unique aroma and flavor not usually associated with most other Rieslings. It is very light yellow in color with floral and mineral aromas.
The flavor was definitely floral, but not what you would expect. It has 3% residual sugar and is available at the winery and numerous tasting rooms around the area. It sells for $10.99 a bottle.
Up-coming Events
Blues in the Barn at Pinnacle Ridge
June 19 and 20

This Week's Fun Fact!
The largest cork tree in the world (on record) is in Portugal. It averages over 1 ton of raw cork per harvest, enough to cork 100,000 bottles of wine. (From the Amazing Book of Useless Information).
