Click HereSend a discerning wine-lover a taste of the good life with this delicious pairing from renowned sun-kissed vineyards. For this distinguished gift basket, we’ve selected 2 stylistically complex wines, a Chardonnay and a Cabernet of unparalleled quality and taste: the deep, mysterious 2010 Rutherford Clarim Cabernet and the crisp, surprising 2010 Hamilton Estate Chardonnay. The wines are complemented by a fine selection of gourmet delicacies including parmesan herb cheese spread, olive & oregano crackers, honey roasted nuts, and chocolate.
The Rutherford region of Napa is home to superstar Cabernet blends that have an earthy note from the prized “Rutherford dust,” a mixture of gravel, sand, loam and volcanic deposits. Emphasis is on the lush fruit and supple tannins and a perfect Cabernet. Many of the finest Napa Cabernets come from grapes grown in the renowned Rutherford region, including outstanding Clarim.
When this extraordinary Chardonnay was created, it stood out from all the others. This Napa Valley gem pairs well with appetizers, strong cheeses, pork, poultry or seafood. It is rich and complex yet retains a fresh, crisp mouth feel. Harmonious and pleasant on the palate, a delicious fruit forward mouth feel with rich complexity and solid structure.
