4th Course: Vigilance Cimarron (meaning a wild, natural place, referring to the use of sustainable farming practices) Red Blend served with a grilled lamb chop atop cauliflower puree, grilled artichoke hearts, and topped with chimichurri sauce (an uncooked garlicky Argentinian sauce). Wine varietals used in the blend: 38% Zinfandel, 25% Syrah, 12% Petite Sirah, 20% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium- to full-bodied, this wine exhibits aromas and flavors of blackberry, cherry, spice, a herb component (bay leaf?), and black pepper. The tannins are soft, there is a good balance, and a long, lush finish.

Taste and see now! Or, what is even better, come to the Wine Dinner, and taste and see!
