RESERVE ROUSANNE - $20.99 - A tropical sensation radiates from the glass through aromas of pear, ripe peach, and leeche nut. Ripe peach dominates the palate with hints of tropical fruit and leeche nut adding to the complexity of the wine. The bright acidity balances beautifully with the fruit to leave your palate refreshed and invigorated.

CHARDONNAY - $11.99 - A bouquet of crisp apple and tropical fruit intermingle on the nose while proceeding to the palate accompanied by a touch of vanilla and citrus. Hints of oak and butter are subtle, yet distinct. Mango, pineapple, citrus, and spice linger on the long finish, perfectly balanced with the crisp natural acidity of the wine.

MALBEC - $27.99 - Rich black fruit, white pepper, and spice embody Terra Blanca’s 2005 Malbec. The bright acidic structure of this wine preserves the natural beauty of the Malbec grape from the front of the palate to the pleasant finish. A bright, full-bodied alternative to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this wine excels when paired with spicy red pastas, flavorful red meat dishes, barbecue ribs, and Chinook salmon.

We will also be featuring their CABERNET and MERLOT - $14.99 each - Both of these have just been released so we couldn't find tasting notes. But, they have the new label that really is different from the old.

Hope you can join us and enjoy TERRA BLANCA WINERY.
