Course Pairing / Description Wine
Hors D’oeuvres Mediterranean Caprese with Tomato, Mozzarella, Olives and Oregano Strawberry Toast with Balsamic and Ricotta Cheese
Varietal composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon This dark pink colored Rosé from Patent opens with fragrant strawberry and maraschino cherry with hints of grenadine, rose petals, and green tea. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, round, smooth, rich and a little off-dry. The flavor profile is strawberry and red raspberry with notes of maraschino cherry and saline. The finish is off-dry, and its flavors and acidity linger nicely.
Patent Wines Napa Valley Rosé 2022
Salad Course Little Gem Salad with Smoked Salmon Ceasar Dressing with Toasted Breadcrumbs and Parmesan Foam
Varietal Composition: 100% Chardonnay This Chardonnay showcases the brilliance of Eden Rift’s mountain estate. It is bright with notes of exotic citrus, pear tart, lemon zest, orange cream, white flowers, and mineral notes. On the palate, it is richly textured yet replete with acidity. Wine Enthusiast-88 points, Willfred Wong 92 points.

Bacon Wrapped Date Course Bacon Wrapped Date with Roquefort Mousse and Crushed Almond
Varietal Composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Sourced from multiple estates throughout the rolling hills of the appellation, intoxicatingly aromatic waves of brooding black cherries, Turkish tobacco, wet rock and vanilla cream crash into the glass with unbridled force, leading into an opulent and smooth palate of grilled plums, crushed gravel, cigar box and spice. A plush mid-palate is framed by dusty, yet formidable tannins that linger on the finish, dragging your palate into the fathoms below as you beg for another sip.

Pig Roast Course Roast Whole Pig with Cherry BBQ, Hawaiian Bun, Sweet Corn Souffle and Crispy Shallot
Varietal Composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon A warm and inviting nose evokes dark cherries, violets, and cardamon spice along with notes of grilled meat and sage. The opulent palate brings dark fruit flavors of cassis, blackberry, and plum notes that build complexity and depth in the wine. The round tannins provide a backbone that guides the substantial power of this wine into a gentle and perfectly balanced finish. Cellar Tracker 92 points.
Altruria Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Dessert Course Vanilla Bean Cheesecake with Luxardo Cherry Chantilly Cream, Dark Chocolate and Maldon Sea Salt
Varietal Composition: 58% Grenache, 31% Mourvèdre, 4% Syrah, 4% Petit Syrah, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon Vermilion comes to us from the husband-and-wife team of Helen Keplinger and DJ Warner. They work with vineyard managers and farmers in Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and the Sierra Foothills and stay involved at every step, from growth to bottling. Vermilion is Helen’s blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, and boasts flavors of baking spice, bright blackberry, with an immense warmth. It has outstanding aromatics of kirsch and darker cherries with subtle peppery garrigue and gamey nuances. Jeb Dunnuck- 92 Points.
Vermillion Red Blend 2020
Chip Wine
Varietal Composition: 60% Grenache, 40% Syrah The winemaker aged this wine a little longer in barrel to soften the palate and make it more approachable upon opening. It expresses a strong structure and intense flavor characteristics. You get the bright juicy strawberry characteristics of the Grenache, rounded out by the dark and concentrated flavors and velvety texture of the Syrah. This is a wine for instant gratification. They made it to be an everyday drinker that does not fall short in complexity, quality, or longevity. Robert Parker 93 Points.
