Sunset Cellars Wine Tasting

Wednesday, June 9, 2010

Delius Restaurant in Signal Hill hosted a wine tasting tonight. Sunset Cellars from the Suisun Valley area of California. These wines are on the lower end of middle of the road but you would not know it from the taste.

We had 6 wines tonight and the only negative was the Sunset Napa Barbera. I felt this wine was way to sweet for a Barbera and it didn't have the punch that expect from this rustic grape.

One of my favorites was the Bear Bottom Creek 2005 Zinfandel. The grapes were sourced from Dry Creek Valley. At $12 a bottle it was a steal. I did opt to but a few bottles of this wine.

Others tasted today were Sunset SV Zinfandel, a little lighter that the Bear Bottom Zin, Bear Bottom Creek Syrah, Twightlight Ridge Napa Cabernet and the Sunset Petit Syrah
