Wines
ADOBE RED To create this lip-smacking, juicy red we blended grape varieties grown throughout California’s Central Coast. Much of the fruit came from our estate Red Cedar Vineyard, just east of the town of Paso Robles. Adobe Red is a fun and tasty Zinfandel-based blend, and the finished wine is 44% Zinfandel, 32% Petite Sirah, 16% Syrah, 5% Malbec, 4% Grenache and 2% Mourvedre.
PAIRED WITH: GRILLED LAMB CHOP WITH PLUM BBQ GLAZE

ADOBE WHITE The grapes for the 2008 Adobe White came from our Red Cedar Vineyard outside Paso Robles. The calcareous vineyard soils in these white grape blocks are comprised of clay-loam and cobbled sandy loam, and are largely on benchland sites overlooking the Estrella River. Cooler air flows down the benches toward the river at night, helping the grapes retain their crisp acidity. The final blend is 22% Viognier, 18% Sauvignon Blanc, 17% Grenache Blanc, 16% Roussanne, 6% Chardonnay and 5% Chenin Blanc and 16% Princess, which we are unable to list on the label because it is not yet an approved varietal for table wine. We are petitioning the federal government to add it to the list. The final blend was bottled in January and February, 2009. PAIRED WITH: BRIE BAQUETTE WITH PORT RASBERRY SAUCE

SAUVIGNON BLANC Made in a refreshing aperitif style, Clayhouse Sauvignon Blanc exhibits a bouquet of orange blossom, pineapple, lemon grass, peach and hints of guava. There’s a touch of minerality that enhances the slightly floral notes contributed by the Musque clone. The blend includes 7% floral-enhancing Chenin Blanc to boost floral character, and 2% Roussanne to provide body and spice. PAIRED WITH: GRILLED JUMBO SHRIMP WITH ROASTED PABLANO PEPPER AND PEACH COULIS

MALBEC It may be the forgotten varietal of Bordeaux, but Malbec is ideal when you’re thirsting for something dark, bold and full of flavor. It’s a wine that adeptly balances fruit and zippy acidity with hints of vanilla oak. Our new Malbec is dark and rich, with black plum, raspberry and cranberry aromas. There’s a hint of black pepper to complement the vanilla oak. It’s fruit-forward in the mouth, with an extended finish of soft tannins and spice. PAIRED WITH: PEPPER ENCRUSTED BEEF TENDERLOIN, OVER GRILLED ASPARAGUS AND CHERRY COMPOTE

Special Last Minute Addition: Kris will pour a few bottles of her Estate Hillside Cuvee, a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Petit Verdot, 7% Malbec Note: This is a ticketed pour for a much smaller pour of this premium wine for each of our members. You'll receive a ticket for the pour when you check in. You can read more about Clayhouse wines at: http://www.clayhousew...
