86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Malbec, 2% Merlot

Tasting Notes:

On the nose I get aromas of fresh bing cherry, blackberry, raspberry and cassis. Hints of cedar and vanilla. Flavors are concurrent with the nose, with cherries and raspberries leading the way. Medium acidity and tannins contribute to this very balanced and drinkable Cabernet from the Central Coast.

Food Pairings:

Beef and game dishes

Blend:

100% Chardonnay

Tasting Notes:

2010 Murphy’s Chardonnay has a very pale straw color considering the oak aging. On the nose, I get creamy banana, pineapple with a hint of pear. Vanilla and butterscotch with a nice dose of fresh oak. Baking spice. On the palate, the bright acidity is the forefront of the mouthfeel. The fruit flavors carry through, especially the creamy banana. Citrusy—a little bit of lime. The Pineapple also very prevalent. Very refreshing and balanced. On the finish I get a hint of that spice from the nose as well as vanilla bean and cream.

Food Pairings:

Sushi, chicken curry and white fish
