QUICK REFERANCE GUIDE

to assist you in getting to know the flavor profiles of these BIG WINES

Winery owner Claire Silver's FOOD RECOMMENDATIONS
follow the wine Varietals.

ZINFANDEL

Tobin James Cellars is famous for their spectacular Zinfandels. They create as many as 11 different Zins a year, all uniquely and incredibly wonderful. They are all deep, intense in color, have rich fruit and berry aromas with dense, rich, concentrated jammy, packed with fruit flavor profiles. All exhibit long lasting finishes.

The “ultimate Zin” is their “Blue Moon”,
it has the most concentration and is the jammiest of any Zinfandel.

Claire recommends:

 

CABERNET SAUGIVNON

Tobin's Cabs are packed with currant, wild berry and cherry flavors, with hints of herb and oak. They are soft, ripe and ready to drink Classic Cabs. The supple, polished and harmonious complexities make them perfect food friendly wines.

Claire recommends:

• CHEESE
  Danish Blue, Camembert, Hard Cheddars

MERLOT

The characteristics that make Merlot such a popular wine, bright black cherry flavors, currant and plum with a luscious mouth feel and soft velvety texture, are all found in Tobin's Merlot. It is one of their most popular wines.

A rich and brilliant one is “Made in the Shade” Merlot.

Claire recommends:

 

SYRAH

Paso Robles is quickly becoming known as one of the best areas in the world for Syrah and Tobin James is, in our opinion, one of the “best of class”.

Typically they have bright cherry and berry flavors, matched with just the right touch of pepper and spice. They finish with soft tannins that allow their Syrahs
to be enjoyed young, or aged for many years.

Claire recommends:

 

CHARDONNAY

The Chardonnay from Tobin surprises many wine aficionados with its wonderfully different and refreshing flavors of citrus, pineapple and pear flavors
with hints of apple and slight vanilla oak.
This wine is a real crowd pleaser.

Claire recommends:

 

SAUVIGNON BLANC

When visiting the winery you will notice that Lance Silver (owner of the winery) always starts his evening with this wine, it is his personal favorite. It is firm, well-bodied, exhibiting wonderful grapefruit, lemon, lime and citrus flavors.
The finish lingers through crisp acidity with a mouth watering finale.

Claire recommends:

 

LIQUID LOVE
a late harvest dessert Zinfandel

This wine comes with the disclaimer:

“Beware! We take no responsibility for what happens once this bottle is uncorked!”

Deep, rich, and jammed with flavors, this complex dessert wine is the perfect end to an evening. It displays rich currant and plum flavors with hints of herb. Picking very late in the season produces an almost port-like wine.
It must be tasted to be believed.

Claire recommends:

This “California Champagne” is packed with pear and apple flavors
and just a hint of sweetness. This Sparkler is sure to appeal to almost everyone.
It is perfect picnic or brunch wine, great with cheese or fruit,
and is absolutely best out of the bellybutton.
