Tomasello Winery
Fruit Wines...500 ml bottles for only 9.99
These are by far the BEST fruit wines we have
come across. Upon tasting, it took us back to the Holiday Family
Dinner Table - We rate this whole portfolio 91/100
- Famous Score. Tomasello Winery is very serious about
the production of their fruit wines. The six fruit wines in
their portfolio are fermented in small lots under very cold
conditions to maximize fruit character extraction. They select
fruit from specific growers whose passion in fruit-growing matches
their passion for wine making. You will find these wines to
be intense in their fruit character with layers of fruit on
the palette and yet balanced in their relative acidity and sweetness.
They have remarkable diversity in their use as a wine to drink
with specific foods and for use in recipes.
Blackberry
- Made from 100% Marion Blackberries, Tomasello Blackberry
Wine is a full-bodied blackberry wine with dominant cassis
and brambleberry character. It is moderately sweet and can
be served both as a dessert wine or in a dessert like English
Triffle with Tomasello Blackberry Wine.
Blueberry -
The wine is semi-dry with soft and perfumed hints of blueberry.
Recent studies prove Blueberry wine to be very high in antioxidants.
To add a distinctive character to your sparkling wine, try
a Tomasello Blueberry Wine Kir Royale. Pour one ounce of chilled
Tomasello Blueberry Wine into the bottom of your favorite
champagne flute. Top with your favorite bubbly.
Cherry - Made
from 100% Cherries, this premium Cherry Wine has a pronounced
Cherry character. Balanced with a bit of sweetness, this Cherry
Wine is best appreciated with White Chocolate Cheesecake,
as an aperitif or in a Cherry Brandy Kir with you favorite
sparkling wine. Try our Cherry Wine in a Pan Seared Duck Breast
with Cherry Wine ReductionPan or in a Cherry wine spritzer.
Cranberry -
Tomasello Cranberry Wine is a perfect balance of light sweetness
and tart, refreshing cranberry. The color is an intense cranberry
red and the aroma enticing, especially when served room temperature.
This 100% natural cranberry wine complements an array of foods
or can be served alone. Try our Tomasello Cranberry Wine with
Turkey - you’ll find that it is the perfect substitute
for cranberry sauce. Or serve Tomasello Cranberry Wine chilled
with Creamy Cheesecake. The creamy character of the cheese
cake is cleansed away by the tart acidity of the Cranberry
Wine. For a more substantial drink try a Tomasello Cranberry
Wine Cosmopolitan.
Pomegranate
- Made from 100% Pomegranate, this wine is a perfect combination
of tangy pomegranate and balanced sweetness. The color is
intense Pomegranate red and the wine has a pronounced fruity
aroma. It is perfect with poultry, in a kir by adding your
favorite Tomasello sparkling wine, or try a Tomasello Pomegranate
Cosmopolitan or Pomegranate Martini.
Raspberry -
Made from 100% Willamette raspberries. Intense raspberry flavor
from start to finish. There is a perfect balance of sweetness
and acidity. Tomasello Red Raspberry is the perfect compliment
to chocolate and chocolate desserts. The acidity of the Red
Raspberry cuts through the sweetness of the chocolate leaving
your palette clean without being cloying. We suggest a rich
Chocolate Paté.

Santa Rita Reserva Carmenere
2007...9.99
90/100 - Famous Score. A wine
of intense ruby red color. On the palate, this wine has well
rounded balance and lingering persistence. Its varietal aroma
is dominated by red fruits and spices.
Santa Rita Medalla Real Chardonnay
2006...15.99
90/100 - Famous Score. Visually
brilliant, yellow colored wine with fresh, lime green hues.
On the palate, robust tropical notes are highlighted by the
fine balance between fruit and acidity. The subtle and elegant
wood note provides this wine with an opulent persistence.
Complex nose with luscious tropical fruits, sweet vanilla
notes and wonderful evolution – simply marvelous!
Santa Rita Medalla Real Cabernet
Sauvignon 2006...16.99
91/100 - Famous Score. Deep, ripe
ruby red color with fine brilliance. Concentrated body, rich
in ripe almost sweet tannins. Its fragrant aroma evokes blackcurrant,
tar and wood notes originating from the barrels it was aged
in. Outstanding!
Santa Rita Floresta Leyda Sauvignon
Blanc 2007...19.99
90/100 - Wine Advocate. “Wine
with great character and personality, with strong citric notes,
citrus flowers, ripe kiwis and gooseberries. This wine is
elegant and concentrated, with good acidity (crispy and zingy)
highlighting the variety’s freshness.”
Santa Rita Floresta Apalta Cabernet
Sauvignon 2004...45.99
90/100 - Wine Advocate. Floresta
reds are always big and imposing: this cabernet is no exception.
At first sip it’s all black cherry flavors supported by tannic
structure; then, with air, it slowly reveals nuances of spice
and mint. Decant it for lamb chops.
Santa Rita Triple C 2004...49.99
93/100 - Wine Advocate. “This
outstanding wine has an intense, rich ruby red color. It’s
well developed bouquet is a rich combination of ripe, black
fruits, blackcurrant and the mineral nuances associated to
cinnamon and spice notes with delicate undertones of vanilla,
tobacco and chocolate. Elegant and well structured, this wine
has an excellent backbone causing the wine to linger on the
palate.” Wonderfully persistence and extremely elegant – worth
every penny!!
