Inn At The Market/Seattle Washington/Salty's
I recently spent a few rainy days in beautiful Seattle.I lived in Washington for a few years,in the Seattle area.Salty's On Alki became my home away from home,and we now will visit this great Seattle restaurant.But first let's check in to the incredible Inn At The Market,and get ready for a great meal at Salty's On Alki. We will need a few wines.I'm thinking Washington's own...Maryhill Winery.We will bring a few great bottles and enjoy the view.the people and the food and wine.Oh and did I mention that Salty's has a limo that they will send to the hotels in downtown Seattle?They will pick you and your party up and deliver you to your table.Then after a great meal,they will escort you to your hotel by limo,and really take all the travel worry out of your feast at Salty's.It's now time to open the wines! Let's check the tasting notes and make a few decisions. Cabernet Franc, 2011 RSV
Tasting Notes:
Aromatic and well structured, with aromas of cherry, roasted chestnut, clove and sweet pipe tobacco. Balanced, smooth finish accentuated by notes of marionberry, cassis and pepper.
Appellation:
Columbia Valley
Vineyard Source(s):
Gunkel Vineyards (Estate), Hattrup Farms, Tudor Hills Vineyards Great choice!now maybe one more and I'll bring along one of the great wines from Kestrel Vineyards also.
Lady in Red
The fruit used to produce Lady In Red 10th Edition was grown at several outstanding locations around the Yakima Valley and Columbia Valley, including our own Kestrel View Estate Vineyard. Grapes from the chosen sites produce wines brimming with ripe black and red fruit flavors, coupled with generous full mouth feel.
The fruit which composes Lady In Red 10th Edition was carefully picked at it height of maturity, then de-stemmed and crushed leaving 15% whole berries. It was fermented at 85°F, in small batches, for 7 to 10 days, then gently pressed so as not to extract .We will also open the great Syrah from Maryhill!Now are you ready?The limo will be here any minute!Cheers!
Click here and join us as we enjoy Seattle at the holidays.Cheers!.
