I had a fantastic
wine this week in the wine cellar room at The
Tuscan Kitchen in Salem, NH celebrating with my family and loved ones for my rehearsal dinner. If you are local to the area it’s
a beautiful establishment and the food was fantastic. I was
recommended this wine, Treana, from the bartender. Treana is just
one of the brands under the Hope
Family Wines in Paso Robles, CA right on the Central Coast. They
produce 5 brands in total with one in particular that some may be
familiar with, Liberty School. The winemakers of Hope Family Wines
partner with about 50 vineyard sites on the Central Coast stretching
from Santa Barbara to Santa Fe. They work together in making sure
that these vineyards will produce the optimal quality grapes in use
for the quality wines that Hope Family Wines produces.
Treana is a blend of 70% Cabernet
Sauvignon and 30% Syrah. It was nicely full bodied and had a deep,
rich dark fruit profile with beautiful length and balance. The
grapes are sourced from eight different vineyard sites and after the
summer the best of both the Cabernet and Syrah barrels are blended
together to provide a balanced harmony. This wine has a good
structure where you could sit on this wine for about 10-15 years.
The bottle retails for about $45. I paired this with a filet mignon
dressed with a Barolo demi-glaze and some cappellaci stuffed with
butternut squash. A fantastic meal, wine and atmosphere surrounded
by our friends and family made for a beautiful night!
