By The Bottle
The offerings are by the bottle only-
East Side Crossing Cab
The Cabernet Sauvignon for East Side Crossing is sourced entirely from our sustainably farmed, family-owned estate vineyards in Lodi, CA. Lodi enjoys warm days and cool nights which allows the grapes to fully ripen while maintaining their natural acidity. Deep ruby color with a purplish edge, black currant and delicate bramble notes. Sweet cedar and warm baking spice lift the intense boysenberry fruit, balanced with a bright acidity and velvety tannins. 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petite Sirah,4% Merlot, 4% Malbec.
$65
-
Humberto Canale Estate Malbec
This wine embodies the purest expression of the Patagonic terroir and the Argentine Malbec. It shows off a very refined style, both in the nose and in the mouth. It’s careful oak cask ageing gives the wine an ultimate dimension that turns it into an irresistible one. Full body wine, with a complex structure, with surprising notes of red berries, eucalyptus spice and black pepper. After a year in the bottle, it becomes more unctuous in character, intense and concentrated.
$65
All prices are based on a 1.5oz drink pour.
