This week's wine: Oliver Winery Blueberry Moscato

Winemaker Notes:

Deep, flavorful blueberry juice is brought to life by Moscato's tropical character and natural bubble. Oliver Winery Blueberry Moscato’s light, low-alcohol style is a crowd-pleasing change of pace that appeals to both sweet and dry palates.

Freakshow Cabernet Sauvignon opens the show with black cherry, strawberry and toasted hazelnut aromas. It is larger-than-life, medium in body and showcases flavors of plum, chocolate truffle and butterscotch with an oak-inspired finish that will surely have you coming back for the second act.

  Magenta-hued, this deep wine is opulent with aromas of black cherry cola, boysenberry and candied spiced pecans. The palate boasts flavors of blackberry confiture, fresh peaches, baked graham cracker crust, allspice and vanilla wafting through to the finish. Pair with braised beef cheeks.

This week's wine: Substance Red Blend

Winemaker Notes

New beginnings. Provocative moment. Expressive, complex, bright, juicy, and forward in place... dark, big and with a lively disposition. Black plum, black currant, dried blueberry intertwined and layered with black licorice, dark chocolate, pipe tobacco with a touch of amaro, black tea and marzipan... delightful, exciting, and just truly awesome.
