Here are the detailed wine notes:
Allure White California Bubbly Moscato
What: A combination of floral bouquets and ripe fruit greets the senses. Aromas and flavors of gardenias, apricot, honeysuckle, and peach are profuse. The lively bubbles are accompanied by a slightly sweet finish. “Very pleasant to sip by itself, Allure Bubbly Moscato is a welcome addition to the table where food is being served. Its convivial nature adds festivity and refreshment to any setting.” —Winemaker, Bob Stashak–From their Website

Allure Pink Moscato
What: “Bright pink color indicates the wine will be very festive in nature. Apricot, peach, bergamot, and mint flavors give our Pink Moscato a fresh and lively demeanor. The combination of bubbles and off-dry balance enhance the refreshment enjoyed with each sip. This is a very easy wine to drink by itself. However, its cheery nature suggests it is welcome at celebrations and where gatherings might include a variety of dishes. It should be on the table ready to serve throughout the meal, including dessert.” —Winemaker, Bob Stashak–From their Website

Petalo Il Vino dell’Amore

Turn Me Red
What: “Turn Me Red” Red Wine Austria – Blend of Zweigelt and Cabernet Sauvignon. Very approachable and charming to drink, Turn Me Red is a robust burst of seductive fruit. The smooth edge of the tannins create a lust of subtle cocoa, cherry fruit, anise, and plums.

Temptation Red Zinfandel
What: Temptation Zinfandel is rapidly becoming one of America’s most popular zinfandels. The casual easy drinking wine that blends zinfandel from our three favorite zin regions – Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley and Solano County. Wine and Spirits Magazine calls this a “BEST BUY” and one of the Years Best Zinfandels in February 2011. On the nose you will find aromas of plum, red cherry, dark fruits, spice, a touch of oak and vanilla. The 2009 has a round full mouth feel with jammy ripe fruit flavors of dark fruits, cherry, black plum, black pepper, dried orange peel and frozen strawberry. This is a great wine to enjoy with equally casual foods like pizza, pasta, burgers and ribs.–From their Website
