Mile High's "Wine of the Week": January 21st
Housley’s Century Oak Winery Adam & Tamera Field Blend 2016

Regular Price: $28.99

Sale Price: $13.99

Sale End: 1/24/2021

We’ve been big fans of the Housley’s Century Oak Cabernet for a couple of vintages here at Mile High. So you can imagine our excitement when the local distributor came with a hot deal on their Zinfandel based field blend, Adam & Tamera! I’ll tell you what, this is a freaking mouthful of wine! A blockbuster nose of mid-summer roses and warm cherry cordial is nuanced by darker hints of road tar, damp cedar, and Christmas spices. Flamboyant flavors of flashy fruit burst onto the scene with no coaxing as soon as you go in for a sip! Raspberry puree and cranberry syrup sit atop layers of warm brown sugar, cinnamon, and roast plum creating the kind of palate that is certain to hold your attention between sips. The finish is at once silky and spicy with luscious weight from the intensely ripe fruit juxtaposed neatly against the peppery heat that makes Old Vine Zinfandel such a great joy to sip. You’re going to want to sip this rowdy Red alongside a hearty meal because it is sure to shine even brighter with a bit of fat to act as a counterpoint to all that fabulous fruit.

Food Pairing:

Gosh this would be a great bottle to pair with ribs! BBQ baby backs often overpower lesser Reds with all their saucy, fatty lovin’ but you won’t have to worry about this one falling short. It has plenty of gumption!

Vieux Château des Rocs Cuvée Tradition Lussac Saint-Émilion 2016

Drinking a great bottle of Bordeaux is such a joy! Unlike many domestic wines I taste, the sense of balance is so evident in well made Bordeaux. The nose is effusive but not contrived. The palate offers wonderful fruit, never even bordering on being fruity. The finish has supple, engaging length while still retaining the levity that feels so clean and stimulating. Vieux Château des Rocs marries firm tannic intensity with wonderfully ripe fruit in a way that can only be achieved in vintages as good as the 2016. Roast plums and smashed black cherries lead the attack while more supple notes of cassis and myrtille liqueur sit just behind, waiting patiently to take up the cause. The engaging, multi-dimensional finish is guaranteed to keep you returning to it for sip after sip, bearing witness as impressive notions of graphite, tar, and cigar humidor make fleeting appearances. This is the kind of wine that will age gracefully, developing more and more tertiary characteristics with each passing year. Buy a few bottles and then make plans to return to them like your favorite passages in literature, knowing that each passing day will further deepen your connection to and understanding of them.

Food Pairing:

A hearty young Bordeaux like the 2016 Vieux Château des Rocs will pair up remarkably well with a wide range of meals because it offers a perfect mix of fruit and spice without ever getting heavy or coating. Whether your plans are for a classic prime rib roast or something a bit different like the roast acorn squash we had last night that was stuffed with curried red lentils, diced chicken thighs, dried apricots, and blanched haricot verts, this is the kind of wine that will hold your food up on a pedestal creating real synergy with each passing bite and sip.
