Chardonnay Tasting Note: Barrel fermentation makes this chardonnay rich and decadent. Honeysuckle, tropical fruits and ripe pear integrate with toasted oak and vanilla on the nose. The pallet is opulent, satiny, with peaches, orange marmalade and the perfect amount of butter.

Cabernet Tasting Note: Toasty American Oak integrates with blueberries, dark plum and blackberries. Bold sweet tannins hold up a velvety mouthfeel, leading to a juicy finish with dark cherries, violets and baking spice.

SAFE Wine: inspired by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) to save vulnerable species. 100% of AZA's net proceeds from their premium wine goes directly to fund AZA's Saving Animals from Extinction (SAFE) program. Your purchase to our Wine Dinner helps save endangered species around the globe. To learn more about AZA SAFE Wine, visit AZA.org/SAFE
