November's Friday Night Flight

Pork belly, pine nut-garlic-currant sofrito/Stephen Vincent, Cabernet Sauvignon, CA, 2006

Stephen Vincent wine is produced from a blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot. Its harmonious balance derives from the use of grapes from two distinct regions: 70% of the wine comes from the Central Coast, and 30% is from Sonoma County. Complex flavors, soft tannins, and French oak are blended perfectly in this exceptional wine.

Pan-roasted and grilled duck breast, mint, chocolate, black pepper/Obsidian Ridge, Cabernet Sauvignon, Lake County, 2007

Obsidian Ridge winery is notorious for its high altitude wine grown on the Mayacamas Range about 2,640 feet in elevation in earth laced with black, glassy Obsidian rock. The high altitude produces thicker grape skins which result in more and better extraction, color, and flavor.

Regina Blu Cheese, Grana Padano tuile, cranberries/Cannonball, Cabernet Sauvignon, CA, 2007

Cannonball is the passion project of winemaker Dennis Hill, well-known for his Blackstone and Hayman and Hill labels. It's a huge, full-body, full-flavor wine for its value. Tannins support the classic Cabernet structure with a long complex finish of blackberry fruit.
