The 2016 Carr Pinot Noir, Pommard is a single-clone Pinot Noir from the Yard Vineyard in Sta. Rita Hills. With flavors of vanilla cola, ripe cranberry, and black pepper this is an truly unique and delicious Pinot Noir. With a long lasting finish that just won’t quit, this wine deserves to be paired with foods that has flavors that are just as bold to compliment it. Try it with these Greek salad-style flatbreads for a fun and tasty experience!
This weekend is Cinco de Mayo and it looks like the weather will be nice and warm for us wine-os! This calls for celebration with 2016 Carr Sauvignon Blanc. With fruit from two vineyards in Santa Ynez, this wine is full of crisp flavors of lime zest and green apple blossom that ease into a bright mid-palate of lemon and soft florals. It gracefully finishes with notes of light, yellow grass and fresh pears. At $22 per bottle, it is perfect for drinking on the patio or in the sunshine. We have also paired it with three recipes – that aren’t tacos! -for your Cinco de Mayo celebrations. Enjoy!
Stuffed chicken breasts are a fun way to incorporate more color and flavor to just another boring old chicken dinner. Try this meal with our tasty 2016 Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir!
Pork belly is one of my favorite cuts of meat these days. While some people consider pork belly nothing more than a fancy version of bacon, it really is so much more than that. In fact, it is considered a delicacy in many parts of the world! This version of pork belly is crispy on the outside, yet tender on the inside. It is a perfect match for our 2016 Carr Santa Barbara County Syrah, that has just as much style as this trendy piece of meat. Enjoy!
Rosé season is back again! The sun is shining, the days are long, and we’ve got 2017 Carr Pinot Noir Rosé to sip on. This dry rosé has hints of peach blossom and honeydew, making it a perfect refreshing treat for this coming spring and summer.
This puff pastry pizza is earthy and sweet, salty and cheesy all at the same time – great for a breakfast or lunch treat! We like it best with the 2016 Carr Pinot Noir, 114 from the Yard Vineyard.
Bright fruit and gentle earth notes make this 2016 Carr Pinot Noir from the Yard Vineyard a perfect sipping Pinot. While it is an excellent stand-alone wine, it is always fun to jazz up a great wine with a fancy (yet easy!) meal. Try this Pinot with this light and flavorful pasta dish for a lovely spring evening!
Buttery, delicious, and surprisingly easy to cook, scallops are a true seafood treasure. Make any night feel a little more fancy with a bottle of 2015 Carr Pinot Noir Pommard and this tasty scallop salad.
We are happy to announce the release of the 2015 Carr Chardonnay! Right in time for the Spring and the warmer weather that comes with it, this wine is perfect for picnicking and patio sipping in the sunshine.
Try this Mediterranean inspired dish with our 2015 Carr Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir. The mildly sweet fruit flavors of the Pinot Noir compliment the lemony chicken, while the radish and root spice finish of the wine compliments the grassy and bright flavor of the olives.
