Meza Wine Club: May 2026
Discovery Red / Red
Wine 1: Monemvasia Red Blend Volte Greece
80% Aghiorgitiko, 20% Mavroudi • grapes are destemmed and co-fermented in tank with a short, gentle maceration. ‘Voltes’, Greek for ‘strolls’, refers to the twisting mountain pathways leading to the upper citadel of Monemvasia. Deep ruby red in color. Aromas and flavors of red fruits, sweet spices, well-structured with balanced acidity, soft tannins, and a pleasant finish. Pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, pasta with red sauces, and yellow cheeses.
Wine 2: Levee & Loam Cabernet Sauvignon
Levee & Loam Cabernet Sauvignon is a California-grown, full-bodied red wine known for its balanced acidity, dark fruit flavors, and food-friendly versatility. Levee & Loam wines are cultivated in the Sacramento Delta region of California, where the combination of fertile loam soils and levee-protected waterways creates an ideal environment for viticulture. The region experiences a Mediterranean-style climate with warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters, while delta breezes act as a natural air conditioner, helping grapes maintain vibrant acidity. The soils, including Tokay Fine Sandy Loam, Tuscan Stony Loam, San Joaquin Loam, and Archerdale Clay Loam, contribute to the wine’s complexity and structure. Levee & Loam Cabernet Sauvignon is dry and full-bodied, showcasing classic Californian Cabernet characteristics. Tasting notes include dark fruits like blackberry, green notes such as bell pepper, and subtle hints of eucalyptus and mint. Its balanced acidity and nuanced flavors make it food-friendly and versatile, suitable for pairing with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes, and aged cheeses.
