Wine from Cava
Filter
Cava is a wine producing region in Spain and means “cellar” to the Catalonian people who live there. The sparkling wine crafted in that region goes by the name Cava. The winemaking region stretches through the area and encompasses areas that produce Cava wines. The most prominent and famous company in the region is Codorniu because the company first led the way in winemaking and is still the most classical. Vines used in the production of Cava wines are typically grown in Catalonia, and include varieties such as Macabeo, Xarel-lo, Parellada, and at time, Chardonnay is grown. When out of the Catalonia region, the Macabeo variety is solely used. A rose wine of Cava is also available, and the wine is crafted from a robust blend of the grape varieties Carinena and Garnacha Tinta. The Cava region’s small group of 50 individuals were spread out and then dwelled in three separate villages in the region. These villages are called Ansovell, el Querforadat, and Cava. Although not all sparkling wines from the region are Cava wines, since not all of the wines are made in the traditional Spanish method used to craft Champagne. That method requires the wines to sit in bottles used for champagne.

Review:
"Golden straw color. Aromas and flavors of brown butter poached pear, marzipan, lemon and apple, and floating in the pool with the grill going with a round, crisp, finely carbonated, dry medium body and an interesting, medium-length finish manifesting notes of dried apples, apricot jam, blanched almonds, and jasmine rice with no oak flavor. Layers of flavor from fruit to earth dance on the tongue for a classic expression of sparkling wine from Catalonia."

Orin Swift 8 Years In The Desert Napa Valley is a blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Syrah.
The Eight Years in the Desert pours a dark mauve core with a red amethyst rim and aromatic notes of ripe blackberry and raspberry bramble. Further hints of chocolate covered espresso bean, black pepper and allspice emanate from the glass. The entry is dominated by black plum preserves and freshly baked mixed berry morning bun with an energetic yet concentrated mid-palate. Soft and textured tannins give way to a lifted finish with a touch of pluot and dried tarragon.
