HITCHING POST WINERY WINE TASTING:
Here are the wines we have selected to share with you.
- Pinks Rose - $16.99 (Glass Price: $8) Fresh and lively with plenty of cherry, strawberry and hints of melon. Rich and mouth-filling. A bit richer in style. Delicious for summer!
- Pinot Noir Hometown - $21.99 (Glass Price: $9) Lush, supple and hard to resist. Pretty red fruits, spice and hints of underbrush. Mouth filling texture and great balance.
- Pinot Noir Cork Dancer - $26.99 (Glass Price: $12) Elegant notes of allspice, cloves, dark cherries and oak. Beautiful round tannins and no hard edges, reminds us of a nice Cote de Beaune. YUM!
- Pinot Noir Highliner - $34.99 (Glass Price: $14) More complex than the others, has great structure, pretty red fruit, dried leaves, spice box and hints of incense. Supple, balanced texture. Great!
- Generation Red (Gen Red) - $16.99 (Glass Price: $8) A very fun blend this year being mostly Merlot that leads to roundness and easy drinkability. The Cab Franc adds interest and body. The other red grapes add interest and complexity. A fun wine.
