May Wines Are Fabulous

I got my 4 new wines this last week and they are fabulous!

I received our EVO 2009 Merlot. This great new wine has aromas of currant, plum and violet with
hints of green peppercorn and clove. And the Merlot grapes are 100% organic. :) I found it a bit tart right out of the bottle, but once I decanted it for about an hour it was wonderful.

Then, the 2010 EVO Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay has aromas of green
apple, citrus and honeydew melon with hints of Meyer lemon and oak. It is so good, crisp and refreshing for summer!

Our Mariana 2009 Lodi Petite Sirah has aromas of blue berries, strawberry
jam and vanilla with hints of cocoa and fresh coffee. What a wonderful, jammy wine. Great with freshly grilled steaks, fresh veggies, and my favorite baked potato with blue cheese dressing. YUM!

Lastly, the 2010 Mariana North Coast Sauvignon Blanc has aromas of Golden
Delicious apple, grass and pear with hints of cantaloupe and pear. I'm saving this one for this week, so I'll have to update you, but I love Sauvignon Blanc's and WineShop at Home has never put out a bad one in my opinion so I'm really looking forward to trying it.
