Chateau Margene 2020 Chardonnay
Modern family: Your family is hardly old fashioned. Why not savor a fresh, modern take on chardonnay for the holidays? This Chateau Margene unoaked and vibrant 100% chardonnay was cold fermented in stainless steel tanks, avoiding the malo-lactic fermentation process known for bringing about that classic buttery flavor. Racked to 100% steel barrels, you better believe that all you’ll be tasting is clean, crisp and acid-driven fruit flavor. This, ladies and gentlemen, is a fabulous way to cut the fat and create an awesome palate cleanser (not to mention conversation starter) for your Turkey Day table.
Why mess with perfection? I mean, the name says it all here. Hit the “easy button” and grab Robert Hall’s hand selected Thanksgiving Reds, a masterful mix of sure to please mom, brother and grandma too! Enjoy two bottles of the winery’s popular 2019 Cavern Select Carignan, with notes of olallieberry, plum, and lilac and flavors of juicy bramble fruit; two bottles oftheir 2018 Cavern Select Zinfandel, a rich, medium-to-full bodied wine with aromas and flavors of all spice, sweet tobacco and dried herbs; and two bottles of their 2018 Cavern Select Meritage. overflowing with notes of sandalwood, savory herbs and flavors of blackberry preserves, cigar box, and molasses. If this stellar holiday wine selection won’t impress ’em, nothing will! We can promise you that.
An attention-grabbing GSM: One of the bolder wines on the list, Anarchy Wine Co creates a marvelous mix of grenache, syrah and mourvedre has a way of making a splash without going overboard. With rustic dark berry fruit, pepper and clove on the nose, this rich boysenberry-flavored wine is suited for a celebratory affair. Silky mid-palate tannins are laced with anise, provincial herb, and exotic spices that trail into a creamy carmel oak finish that personifies cozy fall vibes. What can we say, a wine like this inspires a very strong sense of gratitude!
Toast to togetherness: Cheers to Sculpterra Winery’s anticipated debut sparkling wine. When it comes to coaxing everyone into that illusive festive spirit, nothing delights the crowd quite like bubbles. With 100% French colombard grapes sourced from the California Central Coast picked at the peak of ripeness, you’ll savor a truly boutique wine that sings with character and quality. Concentrated with bouquets of toasted hazelnut, bread crust and a hint of classic stone fruit, this shimmering offering is sure to get everyone celebrating in unison.
Raise a glass to ravishing roussanne! Lone Madrone’s rich Rhone white is chock full of classic varietally-pure aromas, flavors and texture sure to set off mom’s mashed potatoes and gravy like no other. With a nose of sandalwood, toasted Brioche and floral honeysuckle opening up into flavors of seductive lemon preserve and ripe nectarine, you’ll experience layers of luxurious and juicy joy with every sip. Plush yet balanced and featuring the structure and acid required for serious feasting, this one deserves a coveted spot in the old family photo album!
