The Wines!!

Hall Sauvignon Blanc, Napa $26.99
Light yellow in hue with a hint of green, this polished Sauvignon Blanc emanates freshness.
Aromas of lemon zest and green mango are interwoven with an enticing note of white jasmine. The full bodied mid-palate, developed by lees stirring in tank, carries the fresh flavors through to a very clean finish punctuated by a precise edge of acid.

Freemark Abbey Chardonnay, Napa $29.99
Light greenish straw in color, our chardonnay expresses fruit aroma of ripe pineapple, ripe banana, guava, apricot, peach and tropical fruit cocktail. Adding to the complexity, the oak aging is fairly integrated adding spice like nutmeg, light toast, and the nuance of angel food cake. This wine has great viscosity, depth and an intriguing long finish. The flavors are lively on the palate with pear, citrus, lemon-lime, green apple and fleshy peach
 
Au Contraire Pinot Noir, Sonoma $24.99
Brilliant ruby color. On the nose are layers of cherry, raspberry and plum with a hint of violet surrounded by subtle spice. An elegant and silky mouthfeel with fine-grained tannins and firm acidity showcase the wine's ripe fruit.
 
K Vintners The Deal Syrah, Wahluke Slope $39.99
Coming from the Wahluke slope and 100% Syrah fermented (all native) with no destemming and aged in 30% new 500-liter or larger barrels, the 2014 Syrah The Deal Sundance Vineyard has a killer bouquet of black pepper, currants, blueberries, graphite and dried herbs. Full-bodied, seamless, pure and with no hard edges, it is indeed a screaming "deal
 
Mt Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa $44.99 
Deep ruby color. Intense dark fruit aroma of black currant, followed by wet earth, mushroom, and caramelized sugar. Hints of dried herb and the classic California bay that is a signature of Mt. Veeder round out the nose. Earthy flavors that evoke the mountain, along with dark chocolate, black olive, and sweet bay leaf. The palate is long and rich with classic cassis flavors that linger. The soaring structure and acidity ensure its ageability for years to come
