2014 California Wine Flights - $18 “Deep garnet hue. Aromas of wild strawberries, cranberries, savory dried herbs violet and forest floor lift elegantly from the glass. On the palate, flavors of Bing cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate are framed by fine-grained tannins, coastal minerality and bright natural acidity.” As our #1 tasting within our California wine flight, the blend of all these flavors makes it a great starter that will wake up your wine palate.
A beautifully-balanced and medium-bodied Merlot. This is a velvety wine with a complex nose of plum, chocolate spice, dark berries, coffee, caramel and cedar. A fleshy mouthfeel is followed by flavors of bright, upfront, red fruit, a structured mid-palate and a firm backbone of ripe tannins. This wine has impressive length and a lasting, elegant finish. As our #1 tasting within our California wine flight, it creates a perfect bridge to the bolder wine to follow.
The complexity of the Old Vine Zinfandel lies in the spicy notes that are unique to their historic properties. This vintage represents alluring aromatics of blackberries, dried cranberries and a hint of mocha and nutmeg.
On the palate, brambly layers of ripe boysenberry, raspberry and dark chocolate come forward. The wine is complex, with bright acidity complimented by a long, lingering finish of black pepper. The tannins are velvety and smooth to lend a round rich mouthfeel.
Dark purple color. Aromas of black cherry and plum with a hint of vanilla and spice. Sip to experience cherry, plum, and dark currant on your palate. As to be expected with a Cultivar Cabernet enjoy beautiful fruit with great structure and classic Cabernet notes.
It’s the perfect wine to enjoy with hearty dinners. This final tasting of our wine flight culminates the outstanding flavors that were developed through the 2014 wine season. 2014 Vintage Notes: It was another winter in Nor ther n Califor nia, yet the extr eme coastal r egions r eceived significant rainfall in the latter part of winter and early spring of 2014. This precipitation fully saturated estate soils and provided enough moisture to support the vineyards through the growing season. Summer was moderate, dominated by cool, sunny days with omnipresent fog just offshore. Sunny weather interspersed with cool fog prevailed through the end of the growing season, allowing wines of exceptional depth of flavor and finesse.
OUR WINE FLIGHTS OFFER 2 OUNCES OF EACH OF THE FOUR WINES—ENJOY!

However, we will have other NINETY + CELLARS wines available for your enjoyment. It is exciting to be partnering with NINETY + CELLARS. A company that receives some of the finest wines from the finest vineyards throughout the world and offers them at better prices than the vineyards themselves. Please see information on the next page on NINETY + CELLARS, and how they achieve this. Sous Chef Lauren is choosing some of their finest wine offerings and is readying her creative culinary options in preparation for this new culinary experience only available here at Worcester Country Club. This is a great way to enjoy a fine wine with a small plate. A perfect solution after work or golf when you’re just not quite hungry enough for a full dinner. Or, to just come on out to the club and enjoy a beautiful wine along with a special culinary offering. Also, a great way to start your dining evening here at Worcester Country Club as you sit on the patio or enjoy a fireside chat before being seated for dinner.
