Drink Wine All The Time
Remember how much fun it was as a kid to get variety packs? Who would want one flavor when you could have SIX? The fine people at Wellington Vineyards have taken the same line of reasoning and applied it to their wines. Now there’s a vintage for every day of the week!
Monday - Start your week off right with a glass of the 2008 England Crest Syrah. This has smoky, bacony notes, and nothing makes you feel energized and ready to take on the week like bacon.
Tuesday - Ugh. Tuesday. You’re still easing into the week, so a 2008 Sonoma Valley Zinfandel is the way to go. Smooth and fruity, this is an easy one to drink.
Wednesday - Alright, the week’s in full swing, and you’re ready for something with a little more kick. The 2008 Sonoma County Cab Sauv is just what the doctor ordered. With lively acid and a chewy finish, it’s the perfect way to say “I don’t care if you’re only halfway done, week! Bring it on!”
Thursday - So the week took you up on your offer and brought it on. It’s time to beat those Thursday Blues by breaking into the 2008 Mohrhardt Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon. Two Cab Sauvs in a row? It’s been that kind of week. The intense aroma has mulberry, cassis, cranberry, cocoa, smoke, rhubarb, clove, leather, spices and herbs - your olfactory nerves will be so overwhelmed that you’ll soon forget all your worries..
Friday - It’s the end of the week, and that can only mean one thing - The Duke is in town. Plop down for some burgers and pizza to go along with this bad boy, and just unwind.
Saturday - Nothing like a mouth-coating 2009 Merlot to waste away the Saturday with. Whether enjoying it with or as a meal, this is the perfect way to enjoy your day off.
Sunday - It’s been a long week, and you have a pretty nasty headache for some inexplicable reason. Maybe you should take the day off... or drink all six at once!
Features
2008 Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma County 750ml 2-Pack
In 2008, Wellington's Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon again has Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc in the blend. They use both of these traditional Bordeaux grapes in their Victory Reserve, and also do blending trials to see if they will improve their Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. Youthful medium dark red color. Aromas of black currant and cherry with notes of mocha, cedar, caramel, black pepper and spice. The oak is well integrated and not overpowering. The entry is full and supple without being overly sweet or heavy, the mid-palate fruity with lively acid; the finish a bit chewy still, with lingering fruit and oak. With over 2 years of bottle age, this wine already has a smooth, long finish, but still has the stuffing to evolve for several years.
2009 Merlot 750ml 2-Pack
The Wellington Merlot is frequently referred to as a "Cab lover's Merlot," but this is somewhat less so in the 2009 vintage. Classic Merlot aromas of cherry, allspice and tea dominate, with nuances of licorice, tarragon and black pepper adding complexity. The entry is rich, plush and mouth-coating, with bright acid and soft tannins leading to a long, lingering finish with licorice and spice in the aftertaste. This wine has the versatility to complement many foods or to enjoy by itself.
2008 Syrah, England Crest 750ml 2-Pack
Aromas: blackberry and blueberry, with unmistakable Syrah smoky / gamy / bacony notes. Lush, full and round, with enough chewy tannin to ensure several more years of life.
