Barolo Wine Tasting Vertical (2013, 2014, 2015)

$129.00 plus shipping

Why This Gift

Barolo is the King of Italian Wine. Give three bottles from different vintages to see how it ages

Barolo is already world famous, so picking a cru, or select vineyard, within Barolo, is a true privilege. Meet Ravera - known for its vibrancy, middle-weight depth, and the ability to cellar for decades. Try 3 vintages from Ravera, two from the cellar and the newest release, 2015, that is sure to be one for the history books.

Wine is different every year, depending on rainfall, temperature, and even winemaker. To truly understand this phenomenon you have to try the same exact wine from the same exact vineyard across several vintages.

Ravera wines from 2013 are silky with striking aromatics and a touch of rose hip tea. 2014 was a colder vintage that produced perfumey wines that are very expressive at the moment, and 2015 - the darling of the bunch - is already boasting an ephemeral nose of strawberry, cherry and sweet anise in its youth.

Rutz 2018 Chardonnay
With five generations of French viniculture heritage, Keith Rutz strives to create a Russian River Valley Chardonnay that has a great backbone of natural acidity and structure, a crisp, cool limestone minerality character, finesse, and balance. Pale gold in color, the 2018 Proprietors Reserve Chardonnay leads with minerality and savory herb notes. The nose offers a hint of stone fruit like golden apple and pear skin, followed by a range of Provence herbs. The oak is almost unnoticeable, until a hint of toasted sesame seed arises on the finish.

About the Wine

Byron Blatty 2016 GSM Tremor
Redefining, the GSM, the Byron Blatty 2016 'Tremor' is a blend of 65% Grenache, 30% Merlot, and 5% Syrah. The vineyards from which each of the varietals are grown run parallel to the infamous San Andreas Fault, which has played a central role in defining the region's geological profile. Each site injects its own personality into this true LA cuvee. Aromas of fresh red plums, strawberries and quince jump from the glass, with soft undertones of violets, rose petals and honeysuckle. On the palate, flavors of strawberry reduction, Bing cherries, and fresh figs are rounded out with soft French oak notes and touches of baking spice and leather. Silky, ripe tannins carry through on the lingering finish.

Bodega de Edgar 2013 Grenache - Syrah blend E-Squared
The 2013 E-squared release is a combination of two varietals, Grenache and Syrah. Winemaker Edgar Torres feels this wine literally explodes with bright red flowers, red fruit notes and different fall spices. There are aromas of fresh ripe strawberries, pomegranate and hibiscus brewed tea along with the hint of new leather. The syrah brings hints of white pepper, blueberry and chocolate covered almonds. While the 2013 E-squared from Bodega de Edgar is drinkable now, the wine will age well in bottle if you choose to lay it down.

No Limit 2011 Syrah The Nuts
Grapes are harvested according to the Biodynamic lunar calendar and are stomped by foot (pigeage). Like many French-style Syrahs, the nose is quite complex with prevalent with blueberry and blackberry aromas prevalent. The profile is of dense berry fruit and forest brambles with a dark tarriness that is cut through by fresh zestiness of freshly picked raspberries. There are also hints of black olives, cedar and Asian spices. Since Syrah reflects minerals, there is a fine minerality also present leading to a long, smooth finish that will delight the post-palate.

Paul Mathew 2018 Gewurztraminer Harvest Moon Vineyard
Paul Mathew's 2018 Gewurtztraminer comes from the Harvest Moon Vineyard, planted in 1976 and one of the oldest vineyards in the Russian River Valley. Brilliant straw-yellow in color, this Gewurtztraminer offers lots of flowers on the nose with hints of spice, lychee, ginger and fresh thyme. On the palate, passion fruit, lychee, grapefruit and freshly cut thyme flavors dominate this bright and refreshing wine that finishes dry and long.

Alma Fria 2013 Pinot Noir DoNa Margarita Vineyard
Nestled between the two Sonoma Coast towns of Freestone and Occidental, the DoNa Margarita Vineyard is a stunning property that sits just above the fog line and is surrounded by dense wild forests of redwoods and pine trees. While certainly beautiful, the site is also an exceptional setting for growing cool climate loving Pinot Noir. The 2013 Alma Fria Pinot Noir offers aromas of rose petals, violets and mint, and a palate of fruit purity with notes of raspberry, cherry, violet, and subtle pepperiness.

Comartin 2014 Grenache
The Comartin 2014 Grenache comes from the Tierra Alta Vineyard, meaning 'The High Land." Tierra Alta is perched on top of Ballard Canyon in the Santa Ynez Valley, receiving great sun exposure and a high elevation of 1,200 feet, which allows for cool nights. This combination of warm days and cool nights promotes balanced ripening of the berries and clusters. Comartin's 2014 Grenache offers aromas of dried red cherry, turned earth, concentrated rose, and intriguing hints of carnations. The well-woven flavors include tart cherry and baking spices of vanilla and nutmeg, all seamlessly lingering on the long finish.

About the Wine

Weatherborne 2012 Pinot Noir
Produced from the John Sebastiano Vineyard and Melville Vineyards, the Weatherborne 2012 Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir is an earthy, savory wine beautifully and accurately representing the terroir of this renowned Central Coast appellation. Winemaker and founder Cris Carter only makes one wine each year - the best wine he can make, using the most minimalist winemaking methods and sourcing grapes from among the region's finest vineyards. His 2012 bottling is especially significant, as it not only represents his first Weatherborne vintage, but it also earned some hefty press from top reviewers. This 2012 Pinot Noir opens with aromas of raspberries, red currants, rhubarb, graphite and spice. The palate is bright and lively with notes of sweet fruit, dried fig, savory herbs, and anise leading into a soft and elegant finish.

Croix 2016 Pinot Noir Narrow Gauge
The Croix Estate 2016 "Narrow Gauge" Pinot Noir is a blend of select vineyards located throughout Sonoma's Russian River Valley. With access to several sites within the appellation, Kirk Venge felt compelled to create a wine that expresses the regional position in its entirety. This is a fuller, broader, and savory style of Pinot Noir with a complex nose of sweet tobacco, rose water, black cherries and allspice. The palate is exotic and expansive, yet focused, with tongue-curling acidity, a full body and a savory glide that finishes with substantial length. Croix's "Narrow Gauge" Pinot Noir was named to celebrate the historical significance of the narrow gauge railroad movement in the late 1870's - this revolution allowed rapid expansion of agricultural and industrial development, and it propelled Sonoma County to become the agricultural and winemaking powerhouse it is today.

Keller Estate 2016 Pinot Noir
Sourced from the La Cruz Vineyard, the 2016 Pinot Noir benefited from a season of normal annual rainfall, finally giving way to an awakening of vigor and growth. With a mild August, every block on the Estate received 10-20 extra days of phenolic ripening compared to the previous four years. "Our winemaking practices strive to gently guide our wines through our gravity feed cellar with minimal intervention." The wine was racked once at bottling after 10 months in barrel. Dark cherry and dried cranberry give way to a dense, mouth-watering minerality and fruit driven mid-palate with a long-lasting finish of elegant tannins.

Domaine Debray 2013 Pinot Noir Gevrey-Chamberin
This 2013 Pinot Noir from Domaine Debray comes from Gevrey-Chamberin, one of the wine villages of the Cote de Nuits in the Burgundy region of eastern France. The fruit for this wine was handpicked and carefully sorted to ensure only the best fruit made it into the final blend. Classic in style, this Pinot Noir has a fruity bouquet and a round, powerful palate that will go particularly well with strong cheeses and roasted meats.

Solomon Hills 2014 Pinot Noir
Crafted from the esteemed Solomon Hills vineyard, the western-most site in the Santa Maria Valley, this 2014 Pinot Noir packs great energy and tremendous depth of flavors. On the nose, vibrant aromatics of fennel, cinnamon and blue fruits dominate, while hints of toasted oak, rhubarb, cranberry and roasted plum come through as the wine opens up. These notes carry though on the palate, with the addition of spicy fruit flavors and nuances of bay leaf, dried sage and roasted meat. Well-integrated acidity balances out these masculine flavors that linger on the long finish.

Bryter 2014 Pinot Noir Cadeau
The Bryter 2014 "Cadeau" Pinot Noir comes from the Sun Chase Vineyard on California's Sonoma Coast. Cadeau means 'gift' and perfectly suits this wine, which is truly a gift from nature. Dark ruby in color, this Pinot Noir offers powerful yet graceful aromas and flavors of lush blackberry, black cherry, black tea and spices. Its bold, ripe black cherry core is laced with complex layers of ripe juicy fruit, savory spice, and a hint of minerality. With an underlying foundation of mouth-watering acidity, the wine unfolds into a velvety finish with well integrated tannins and a seductive hint of sweet oak.

Byron Blatty 2016 Red Blend Agenda
The Byron Blatty 2016 'Agenda' is a blend of 85% Syrah (from LA County's Alonso Family Vineyards) and 15% Tannat (from Bella Collina Vineyard in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles). On the nose, aromas of ripe red currants, fresh plums, sweet tobacco, earth, leather and boxwood mingle together. The palate is elegant and complex with brilliant acidity, ripe tannins, and nuanced flavors of fresh red berries, crushed gravel, and cocoa that carry through to the oak-accented, spiced finish. This wine is a true reflection of Byron Blatty's ongoing Agenda - making world class wines from LA County that showcase the diversity of the region's terroir.

V Madrone 2015 Red Blend Le Prechaun
The 2015 'Le Prechaun' is a blend of 40% Zinfandel from the Old Vines on Collins Vineyard and 60% Petite Sirah from the Old Vines on Beard Vineyard. This wine is generous, dense, and rich on the palate with a prevalent but not overbearing tannin structure. Aromas of crushed black currants, ripe blackberries, plums, and dried Mediterranean herbs complement the muscular dark fruit flavors that linger on the finish.

Ousterhout 2013 Zinfandel Nance's Vineyard
Ousterhout's 2013 Nance's Vineyard Zinfandel comes from the southeastern corner of Alexander Valley, where the vineyard sees routine fog from the Petaluma Gap and Russian River Valley. Nestled up against a southwest-facing hillside, Nance's Vineyard is ideal for premium grape growing and consistently produces exceptional Zinfandel grapes with concentrated, dense flavors. Deep black-purple in color, the 2013 Ousterhout Zinfandel offers flowing aromas of toasted black currants and mild spices while the palate brings seductive, silky layers of blackberry, huckleberry and lightly toasted spice. Excellent acidity carries these flavors through the finish and onto the next sip.

Crafted from the esteemed Solomon Hills vineyard, the western-most site in the Santa Maria Valley, this 2014 Pinot Noir packs great energy and tremendous depth of flavors.

About the Wine

Buoncristiani 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon
95 POINTS -- Robert Parker, Jr.'s Wine Advocate "Containing a 4% splash of Malbec, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is very deep garnet-purple colored and displays warm black plums, black cherries and black berries with wafts of red currants, cedar chest, dried Provence herbs, lavender and spice box. Full, firm and velvety textured, the palate yields mouth-filling black fruits and spicy layers with a very long, perfumed finish." Winemaker Notes: This blend was handcrafted from small lots harvested exclusively from hillside vineyards in Howell Mountain and Coombsville. This wine was aged in barrels for 20 months and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Expect to find deep aromas of cassis, black cherry, incense, dark chocolate, caramelized oak, toffee, and the Buoncristiani signatures of balance, depth on the mid palate, and a lengthy persistent finish. Precise amounts of Malbec were carefully folded into the final blend to add complexity and depth to the profile. Twenty months aging in 85% new French oak barrels rounded out the palate even further, while adding more texture, aroma and flavor.

JAX 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Block 3
94 POINTS -- Jeb Dunnuck "It offers a super-rich bouquet of blueberries, plums, Asian spices, sagebrush, and lavender. With full-bodied richness and depth as well as sweet tannins and rocking levels of purity, it's easily the standout in the lineup." 94 POINTS -- Wine Enthusiast "This big, bold wine tastes of blackberry pie dusted in clove and nutmeg, giving it a lush and plush feel. Thick and densely structured, it offers elongated tannins and a memorable, spicy finish." 93 POINTS -- Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate "The deep garnet-purple colored wine offers up cassis, baked blackberries and blueberry compote with lifted notes of spice box and licorice plus a touch of sage. Full-bodied, rich, firm and grainy, the palate has loads of freshness and an aniseed finish." Winemaker's Notes Sourced from the prized block on the JAX Estate, the Block 3 Cabernet reflects the premium fruit of the vineyard. After noticing such remarkable fruit from this block, we decided to isolate this gem and bottle merely 5 barrels. This project is an intense expression of the red rock, alluvial soil at the base of Mt. Saint Helena. The lush fruit driven profile of the 337 clone produces a wine that is well structured with lovely herbal notes on the nose.

Domaine Curry 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon
94 POINTS -- James Suckling "Dark-berry and spice character with dried herbs. Extremely aromatic. A full-bodied red on the palate with very dialed-in fruit and hints of violets and mint. Long and sophisticated. Hard to resist." 93 POINTS -- Antonio Galloni's Vinous "The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon...black plum, gravel, spice, and new leather are beautifully layered in the glass. The 2016 offers a striking interplay of Calistoga power and explosive energy, all while maintaining terrific brightness for such a big wine. There is a lot to like here." Winemaker's Notes - Kent Jarman "The elevated Petit Verdot in this blend really provides the dark inky structure and tannins to cellar this wine for a long time. Elements of fresh berries, custard filling, and vanilla nuance contribute to this complex wine. When this bottle settles down and opens up, watch out!"

Maroon 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Reserve
Fruit for this Special Reserve Cabernet originated in Maroon Vineyard in the Coombsville AVA of Napa Valley. The vineyard combines several unique factors including varying soils (including volcanic) mostly on hillsides, plus an excellent drainage system. These combine with a cooler climate (Coombsville is much cooler than the rest of Napa Valley) that produces a plethora of exceptional fruit. Unique violet/black color. Aromas of cherry, black currant, blackberry and honeycomb combine to produce dark chocolate and espresso on the palate. Lingering finish produces tobacco and creamy oak tones. Enjoy!

Frisson 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon
94 POINTS -- Wine Advocate "Deep purple-black in color, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder has pronounced notes of crushed plums, cassis and mulberries with hints of black soil, licorice and dark chocolate plus a waft of garrigue. Medium to full-bodied, the palate offers great expression with a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins and refreshing acidity, finishing long and layered." Tasting Notes On the edge of the sky between valley and shore, this vineyard roosts in one of the most demanding wine growing appellations in Napa Valley. Cooled by San Pablo Bay, the growing season is long and the yields are small. Steep slopes present their own set of challenges. The prize at the end is fruit with intense flavors, deep colors and sturdy tannins. A best friend to a beautifully curated cheese course, and a delightful companion to braised beef, lamb and venison as well as richer fare.

Cade 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon
97 POINTS -- Jeb Dunnuck "The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate checks in as 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 7% Malbec, and 5% Petit Verdot brought up in 79% new French oak. It's a total rock star of a wine and boasts a saturated purple color, a flamboyant, full-bodied, sexy style, awesome notes of cassis, toasty oak, tobacco, and graphite, sweet tannins, and thrilling purity of fruit. It ranks with the creme de la creme of Howell Mountain and has 2-3 decades of longevity ahead of it." 96+ POINTS -- Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate "The 2016 Cade Estate Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep purple-black color and wonderfully pure, vibrant notes of crushed blackcurrants, black cherries and baker's chocolate with touches of Indian spices, licorice and cloves plus an earthy waft of damp soil. Full-bodied, rich and powerful in the mouth with a rock-solid frame of ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, it finishes with layer after layer of black fruit and exotic spices."

About the Wine

Veuve Cliquot "Yellow Label" Champagne N.V.

The strength of this golden-yellow wine is immediately pleasing to the nose while its complexity explodes on the palate. The initial notes of fruit are followed by more discreet aromas of brioche and vanilla when the wine is allowed to age in the bottle. Brut Carte Jaune offers a perfect balance of finesse and forcefulness. Information provided by Veuve Clicquot.

Veuve Clicquot Brut Rosé Champagne N.V.
The wine has a luminous color with attractive pink glints. The nose is generous and elegant, with initial aromas of fresh red fruit (raspberry, wild strawberry, cherry, blackberry), leading to biscuity notes of dried fruits and Viennese pastries (almonds, apricots and brioche).

The fresh attack is followed by a fruity harmonious sensation on the palate. The wine is perfectly balanced in the best Veuve Clicquot style of pink champagnes, combining elegance and flair. The wine works its magic—this delectably full champagne can be enjoyed as a true delicacy. A deliciously fruity wine in earlybloom, this is a wonderful aperitif to be shared as a twosome or simply with friends. — Information provided by Wine.com

Veuve Cliquot La Grande Dame Champagne 2008
To the eye, La Grande Dame 2008 presents a color with bright, golden glints. The initial nose reveals a strong, aerial and delicate attack. Once opened, the wine has notes of dried fruits (almonds, figs, apricots), ripe white fruits (pears) and finishes on subtle toasted notes of hazelnut and praline. These pastry notes create a perfect balance with the freshness and clarity of the blend. The attack in the mouth is strong and clean. La Grande Dame 2008 has a silky texture on young fruits, supported by citrus and notes of red fruits (cherry). The Pinot Noir is extraordinarily distinguished by its freshness, minerality and power. La Grande Dame 2008 is a perfect balance of complexity, structure and power. — Information provided by Veuve Clicquot

About the Wine

2009 Dom Perignon Champagne

Produced from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes from the finest growths and vineyards, Dom is created only in years in which the harvest is precisely suitable. Fragile, timeless, and immeasurably enjoyable with aromas of almond, powdered cocoa, and dried flowers leading to a precise, chiseled palate. Toasty notes give a rounded finish and denote a fully realized maturity, while on the palate, the wine instantly traces an astoundingly fine line between density and weightlessness. Its precision is extreme, tactile, and dark while the full taste lingers with the utmost elegance on a sappy, spicy note. Information provided by GiftTree.

2000 Dom Perignon P2 Brut

Winery: "P2 is the Second Plenitude of Dom Perignon, the result of 16 years of elaboration. Both the complementary and contrasting elements that comprise the 'assemblage' resonate with each other for enhanced intensity, vibrancy and precision. The energy of the wine is at its peak.

On the nose: The bouquet is ripe, lively and generous. The warm aromas of hay and brioche mingle with those of bergamot orange and russet stone fruit. The overall effect exudes smoky grey accents. On the palate: The vibrant opening strikes the first chord, a prelude to a complexity that is more tactile than plump, and only gives of itself gradually. The distinguished viscosity is understated and simply fits around the contours of the wine. The length is exquisitely bitter and abounds with sap, a mingling of liquorice and toasted malt.
