Reunion Feast at Chez Gay: Meat course

ROCCA DOLCETTO D'ALBA VIGNALUNGA
This wine has a deep, ruby red hue with purple reflections and an intense nose to match, filled with delicate aromas of ripe red fruits and violets. Dry and full-bodied on the palate, it feels soft in the mouth, with harmonious and intense flavors. The finish is long and strong, with a pleasantly bitter note on the aftertaste.

Angelo Rocca's 2005 Dolcetto d'Alba Vignalunga presents a lovely core of blue and black fruit along with notes of smoke and licorice that develop in the glass. It is rich and concentrated on the palate, showing an expansive personality and great length.--Robert Parker

ALMA ROSA PINOT NOIR SANTA RITA HILLS SUSTAINABLE
With a commitment to sustainable farming and green business practices, and over 100 acres of certified organic estate vineyards, Alma Rosa leaps forth as bright and bursting with fruitiness, almost candy-like, strawberry-rhubarb-raspberry tones underlaid with classic Pinot Noir spiciness.

Enticing aromas of lavender and berry, rich, supple and elegant on the palate, with a vibrancy to the fruit and suppleness to the texture. Long and fruity on the finish. -- James Laube Wine Spectator
