News from Heights Chateau

Apologies for being all over the place with fonts and sizes last week; I', still on a rather steep learning curve with this new computer setup. Fortunately for me, not a lot new to tell about so I have less of a chance to mess up! So here goes.

NEW WHITES:
(new vintage) Excelsior 2012 Chardonnay @ $8.99
crisp and mouthwatering, with lively flavors of green apple, citrus and pineapple
Dostert 2012 Elbling @ $11.99
made from an ancient Roman varietal grown in the Mosel region of Germany, aromatic, with a focusing streak of acidity and an earthy finish
(new vintage) Accattoli 2012 Pecorino @ $12.99
full-bodied and smooth, with aromas of yellow flowers and mature fruits on the palate
Kunstler 2012 Riesling @ $17.99
full flavored, with a bouquet of peaches and apricots, ripe and rich
 
NEW RED:
Boedecker 2011 Pinot Noir @ $21.99
a youthful Oregon Pinot with plenty of structure, raspberries on the nose and palate, subtle notes of rose petals layered with pomegranate and hints of forest floor
 
NEW ROSES:
Saint Aix 2012 Aix en Provence @ $16.99
a blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah, elegant and refined, with concentrated flavors of apple, spice and citrus that are flanked by plenty of rich, spicy notes
Lageder 2012 Lagrein Rosato @ $17.99
made in a state-of-the art solar-powered winery from biodynamically grown grapes, a chiseled wine with real definition and great charm
