California Collection

It's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. While it must settle for being only a state, that does not affect the high quality and diversity of its wines.

The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but watch out, because Sonoma County is catching up to its overshadowing neighbor. Down south, the Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is finding that some Rhône style grapes and even Pinot and Chardonnay are able to do well. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Mcmanis Family Vineyards

Petite Sirah

The combination of dull fruit and chocolaty overlays give this one a certain heaviness despite the fact that it is only medium-full in body. Its flavors start with hints of red berries, and there is none of the grape's brawn anywhere in evidence. It barely makes the grade as an inexpensive red wine.

Bogle

California

Merlot

Developed and intense fruit from this harvest has produced one of our most full-bodied merlots yet! Deep cherry fruit hits both the nose and palate upon the first sip, followed by soft hints of summer anise. Touches of pipe tobacco and spicy oak lend weight to the finish, trailed by firm, assertive tannins. Enjoy this wine with a wide range of food: from pasta to hearty meat dishes, or of course, all by itself!

Mc Manis

California

Cabernet Sauvignon

The Cabernet Sauvignon is purple-red in color, with a bright hue. The nose is filled with mocha, chocolate, and caramel - contributed from oak aging. Blackberry and Blueberry fruit is also evident. The round creamy mouthfeel is accompanied by red and black berry fruit flavors. The finish is a long pleasant combination of fruit and oak.

Napa Valley

Three Ranches

Sauvignon Blanc

Kudos to winemaker Gott for capturing a lighter, more minerally style of Sauvignon-one that is not often seen in these waters. With quiet but nicely fruited aromas smelling of melons, grasses and wet stones, the wine takes a crisp and tasty path across the palate and will be right at home with lighter seafoods and shell-fish over the next few years.

Bogle

Old Vines

Zinfandel

Head-trained, dry farmed old vines are again the source for Bogle’s Old Vine Zinfandel. These gnarly old vines produce concentrated fruit of unsurpassed quality and intensity. This supple and mouth-filling vintage leads with juicy blueberry and ripe blackberry fruit. Black pepper and hints of chocolate notes integrate well with this soft, plush body. Subtle hints of spicy oak and pipe tobacco create structure, allowing this wine to stand up to a variety of fare. This is the perfect wine to pair with everything from rich sauces and unique dishes, to your favorite weeknight take-out.

Beringer Vineyards

Napa Valley

Chardonnay

Pale, bright yellow. Deeply pitched but bright aromas of ripe peach and pear. Smooth and ripe, with enticing peach and pear fruit flavors complicated by lees, spices and butterscotch. Finishes with a slightly phenolic quality. Good honest chardonnay, and a solid value.

Syrah

A bothersome bit of earth sits off to the side of muted, berryish fruit in this wine's slightly murky aromas and is reprised in the wine's otherwise brief and comparatively hollow flavors. There is no real potential for age here, and the wine's soft, low-tannin style prescribes early drinking.

Chardonnay

Bogle’s 2006 Chardonnay has a little something for everyone: barrel fermentation, sur-lies aging, and partial malolactic fermentation. These hand-crafted processes create a rich and elegant wine with layers of complexity. Fresh tropical fruits like pineapple, mango and green apple greet both the nose and palate upon first sip, followed up by a touch of lemon cream. Complimented by more creamy notes of butterscotch and caramel, the wine has a long, lingering finish hinting of toasty oak. Served Best With Enjoy this wine with just about everything!

Bogle

California

Petite Sirah

First produced in 1978 by the Bogle family, this 2004 Petite Sirah is considered Bogle’s “heritage” varietal. On the nose, luscious boysenberry teases you along with touches of black pepper and herbs. Trademark inky and jammy tones fill the mouth with ripe fruit and berries. The voluptuous finish lingers with toasty oak and lush fruit. The firm tannins make this a wine that can develop for years to come, but you won’t want to wait that long to enjoy it! Try this unique wine with rich meat dishes of lamb, pork or game and their hearty sauces. Served Best With: Try this unique wine with rich meat dishes of lamb, pork or game and their hearty sauces.

Beringer

Founders' Estate

Cabernet Sauvignon

The Beringer Founders Estate Cabernet bursts with bright cassis, black fruit and sweet brown spice aromas with just a touch of vanilla that leads into a juicy mouthfeel. A balanced dose of structured tannins and its long finish make this unmistakably a California Cabernet. However, this Cabernet doesn't need to be cellared; it's ready to drink now.

Domaine Chandon

Carneros

Nicely defined, cherry- and strawberry-like fruit is teamed in the nose with a balanced bit of yeast and a hint of mineral, and the same inviting mix of bright fruit and subtle yeast is carried into the crisp, clean, thoroughly refreshing flavors of this well-made wine. Although all Californian in its fruit-first emphasis, it is far more than a simple quaff, and its insistent mousse makes it an even more attractive package.

$16.99

Bogle

Russian River

Pinot Noir

The cool coastal breezes of Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley help to intensify some of the most widely acclaimed Pinot Noir grapes in the world. Our 2005 RRV Pinot Noir is a wine filled with subtle nuances and forward fruit character. Aromas of violets, crushed rose petals and berry spice are integrated with toasty oak overtones. The plush, lingering impressions of black cherry and leather on the palate end in a silky, earthy finish. Served Best With A perfect pairing with osso buco and chantrelles. • Vintage: 2005 • Appellation: Russian River Valley • Barrel Program: 12 months in French and American oak • Release date: March 26, 2007 • Wine pH: 3.64 • Wine acidity: 0.55g/100ml • Alcohol: 14.2%

Bernardus

Monterey County

Sauvignon Blanc

Much like its pricier partner, this demonstratively varietal wine is brimming with grass and herbs, but it shows a better sense of essential fruit at its heart and balances its greener themes with a touch of melon. It too runs afoul of bitterness at the end, but this time the distraction is minor, and the wine will succeed as a partner to meaty fish.

Highway 12

Cabernet Sauvignon

Sonoma County

Cabernet Sauvignon

Highway 12 Winery 2007 Bordeaux Blend pours in the glass as a dark purple-ruby color. Subtle aromas of ripe berries, in an earthy context, on the nose. Blackberry and blackcurrant flavors predominate in a smooth mouth, full of fruit, and persist through moderate tannins, a dry finish, and a leather highlight.

Chalone

Monterey

Cabernet Sauvignon

Winemaker Notes - Our Chalone Vineyard 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon from Monterey County is powerful yet perfectly approachable. Full-bodied with aromas of berry jam and cocoa, it is rich with juicy blackberry flavors and notes of vanilla/oak, which give it richness and complexity. The wine has nicely balanced tannins and acidity and a medium long finish that allows you to keep enjoying this wine long after it has left the glass.

Syrah

The Syrah for this wine came from Paso Robles and their Estate vineyard. This is the 8th vintage of this wine. This wine was aged for 11 months in a mix of new and 1-3 year old French oak barriques. This inky-hued, full-bodied wine has lots of fruit and spice and is highly drinkable right now, however, it will reward the patient with another couple years of aging.
