The Grenache for this vintage is robust and full bodied, while the small amounts of Syrah and Mourvedre add just the right amount of complexity and spice to round it out. This wine is bold and wellbalanced with its flavors of strawberry, violet and white pepper, and hints of baking spice and vanilla coming through on the finish. Aged in oak. Enjoy!

Staying true to the vision of the brand, this wine is handcrafted in limited quantities and the grapes are of the highest quality. The Kalaris 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is a true reflection of Gus Kalaris' vision to produce first class wines in a classic Old World style, while allowing the Napa Valley origin to shine through. This wine is a powerful effort displaying loads of red and black currants, blackberry, plum, spice box, and a meaty, chocolate character. It's supported by silky, well-integrated tannins that provide a perfect balance. This Cabernet Sauvignon is fruit-forward and opulent with a rich, velvety mouthfeel and a finish that lingers long after the final sip. Enjoy!

Santa Lucia 2019 Ansonica
Crafted from an ancient coastal vineyard in Santa Potenziana, a historic place in southern Maremma, Tuscany, the Santa Lucia 2019 Ansonica was made from centuries-old Ansonica vines that are surrounded by dry stone walls. Ansonica is one of the oldest native vines of Sicily and is planted throughout the island, and in Tuscany it can only be found in the coastal Maremma region. A crisp, dry white wine, Ansonica is known for its nutty, citrusy characters with slight herbal notes. Straw yellow in color, the 2019 Ansonica has an intense bouquet of ripe fruit with notes of yellow apples and fresh herbs. The full body offers fresh acidity and a fruity, appley finish. Enjoy!

Knudsen 2015 Pinot Noir
The Knudsen 2015 Pinot Noir comes from the estate Knudsen Vineyards, located in the heart of Oregon's Dundee Hills. Friendly and approachable, this Pinot Noir opens with aromas of ripe red cherry, cranberry, rose, sandalwood, and a touch of earth. The concentrated palate is wrapped around a core of red fruits with cherry as the centerpiece. Additional accents include baking spices and brioche. Elegantly styled with supple tannins, this wine has a robust finish that builds richness over time in the glass. Enjoy!

Miroballi 2014 Pinot Noir
Miroballi's 2014 Hilliard Bruce Vineyard Pinot Noir comes from one of the most prestigious vineyard sites in Sta. Rita Hills. This Pinot Noir is silky, with subtle red fruit and bright flavors in the mouth, with great depth and classic Old World Burgundian aromatics and spice. Soft, smooth tannins support the earthy, long finish. This wine is a delicious complement to duck, salmon, and ahi tuna.

Ancillary Cellars 2017 Pinot Noir Sun Chase Vineyard
Strikingly complex, rich and fruity, the Ancillary 2017 Sun Chase Vineyard Pinot Noir is beautifully proportioned with an initial burst of red berry fruit and notes of red and black licorice. From there, the wine quickly gains traction and depth with firm, layered tannins that give the spicy berry flavors a perfect foundation. A beautiful fruit-forward entrance gives way to lively acidity that lifts the mid-palate and showcases the strawberry field and blood orange aromatics. This Pinot Noir drinks wonderfully right out the gate, but a year or two in the cellar promises to bring out even further complexities. Enjoy!

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

EX Wines 2018 Chardonnay
The EX 2018 Unoaked Chardonnay comes from the original 35 year-old vines planted on the San Saba Estate Vineyard. This wine sees zero oak and is fermented and aged only in stainless steel tanks, allowing the naturally bright and direct flavors and aromas to be properly displayed. On the nose, subtle aromas of tropical fruit balance the deceptively rich flavors of guava, banana and green apple. There is a noticeable yet well balanced splash of acidity and a full mouthfeel that leads into a long and refreshing finish. Enjoy!

Rucksack 2017 Red Blend The Cache
The 2017 'The Cache' is all about elegance, structure and balance, showing the incredible harmony between these five Bordeaux varieties - 51% Malbec, 27% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. This mountain-grown blend offers a melange of Bing cherry, blueberry, pomegranate, and red currant with soft tannins and a lingering finish.

DuMOL 2016 Syrah Wild Mountainside
As the name suggests, DuMOL's 2016 'Wild Mountainside' Syrah was produced exclusively from high-elevation mountain vineyards in the Russian River Valley, where vines struggle to produce small crops of truly unique character and incredible quality. The vineyards, Greywacke, Hoppe-Kelly, and Timbervine, are among the finest Syrah vineyards, not only in Sonoma County, but in all of California. Inky and concentrated, the 2016 'Wild Mountainside' Syrah offers blackberry, boysenberry and blueberry fruit characters that dominate both the aromas and the palate. The fruit is plush and deep, but there is also a sense of mountain precision and detail, and hints of floral lilac and wild thyme that add wonderful complexity. A savory ferrous note adds intrigue to the full-bodied palate, but the wine remains fine and polished throughout.

2017 Nuova Cappelletta Barbera de Monferrato
Deep reddish purple in color with an aroma of very rich and distinct vanilla and cinnamon.  Excellent structure and harmony.  Oak barrel aging has connected the acidity and alcohol with the tannin.  This wine is a blend of grapes grown in the Rinalda and Collina vineyards where the exposure and the soil allow for a medium-bodied wine suited for aging. Biodynamic and Vegan AWARDS December 2010 Wine & Spirits 86 pts (Best Buy) Note:   A Handling Fee includes labor, shipping materials and FedEx "adult signature required" fee and are added into the Shipping Fee

Wine Spots 2017 Merlot
The Wine Spots 2017 Merlot comes from three AVA's in Napa Valley's hillside vineyards, within Stag's Leap, Rutherford and St. Helena. Each superb site lends its own signature characteristics to build this elegant Merlot. This beautiful 2017 vintage is reminiscent of the finesse and elegance of Bordeaux's Right Bank, with soft tannins and a refined palate. Sweet cherries and plum aromas are accented by notes of vanilla on the nose, while French oak aging in small barrels emphasizes the soft tannins and fruit flavors of cherry, plum and blackberries on the palate. Hints of toasty oak come through on the long finish.

Crux 2015 Grenache
A blend of 90% Grenache, 5% Syrah, and 5% Mourvedre, the Crux 2015 Grenache comes from a selection of premium vineyards in Sonoma's Russian Rivery Valley. The Grenache for this vintage is robust and full bodied, while the small amounts of Syrah and Mourvedre add just the right amount of complexity and spice to round it out.

Six Bottles of 93+ Red Wine from California

$549.00 $618.00 plus shipping

Why This Gift

A selection of small-production, luxury California Red Wine curated by Gold Medal Wine Club

If we didn't trust Gold Medal Wine Club, we wouldn't suggest sending this six-pack of highly-rated red wine form California, mostly because we can't guarantee which specific wines will be in the box. But we DO trust Gold Medal Wine Club to pack a lot of value into their wine sets, so you can confidently give this gift of California red wine winners. Expect an array of styles and grapes.

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.

Titus 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Family Reserve
94 POINTS -- Antonio Galloni's Vinous "The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Family Reserve is inky, rich and explosive. Creme de cassis, blueberry jam, chocolate, menthol and sweet spice are all amped up in an unctuous, flamboyantly ripe Cabernet that will drink nicely with minimal cellaring. This is an especially rich, plush style. Hints of graphite, lavender, spice and new leather build into the super-expressive finish. This is very nicely done." 93 POINTS -- Jeb Dunnuck "The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Family Estate Reserve has lots to love. Deep black fruits, chocolate, tobacco, and lead pencil shaving-like notes all emerge from the glass, and its full-bodied, has a plush, seamless texture, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's an undeniable success to enjoy over the coming 10-15 years."

Lewis 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon
93 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine "Solidly built with loam and warm licorice notes melding into dark currant and blackberry compote flavors. Broad and fleshy through the finish. A bit stolid in personality, but the depth and definition is there." Winemaker's Notes - Josh Widaman "Juicy, ripe and fruitful, our 2016 Napa Valley Cabernet captures the kitchen aromas of home jam-making. Creamy vanilla and wood spice together with black plum, truffle and earth give the nose delectable character. Flush with fruit, dusky, dense and polished, the wine finishes with cushy, dark-chocolate tannins."

Lewis 2018 Reserve Chardonnay Reserve
From the long growing season of 2018 our Napa Reserve Chardonnay has super showy aromatics, deliciously complex flavors and alluring texture that can't be captured in words. Opening with white flower blossoms, green pear, lime zest and crushed stone mineral the wine is fragrant and long-limbed. Profoundly rich and silky texture is underpinned with structural detail and a stunningly long tail.

Purlieu 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon
95 POINTS -- Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate "Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon gives up exuberant notions of blackcurrant pastilles, blackberry compote and stewed red plums with touches of kirsch, potpourri, fragrant earth and cigar box. Full-bodied and opulently fruited in the mouth, the powerful flavors are well framed by firm, ripe tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and spicy." 93 POINTS -- Wine Spectator "Solid, featuring a direct beam of cassis and raspberry reduction flavors, flanked by anise, applewood and bramble notes. A loamy echo chimes through the rich, polished finish."

GKG 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon
96 Points - Jeb Dunnuck "From a collaboration between Dave Phinney and Greg Gorman sourced from the Lewelling Vineyard, the 2016 GKG Cabernet Sauvignon offers a classic, elegant style that's very much in the style of the 2016 vintage. ...its deep purple color is followed by a medium to full-bodied, nuanced Cabernet that has impressive notes of black raspberries, cassis, and purple iris. It shines for its purity of fruit, balance and length, and is a beautiful, age-worthy Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon." 95 Points - Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate ". . . the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is medium to deep garnet-purple colored and offers lovely scents of wilted roses, oolong tea and sandalwood with a core of cassis, baked plums and warm black cherries with touches of olives and lavender. Medium to full-bodied with a good solid foundation of grainy tannins and oodles of freshness, it delivers beautifully understated fruit and a harmonious finish."

About the Wine

Rock Wall 2016 Zinfandel
California Zinfandel aficionados have long revered bottlings from the legendary Monte Rosso Vineyard in the Sonoma Valley AVA. This prestigious vineyard is sought after by many, but only a lucky few have access to the stellar Old Vine Zinfandel that is grown here. Rock Wall Wine Co.' block in the Monte Rosso Vineyard has 116-year-old vines that yield some fantastic wines. The 2016 Reserve Zinfandel is rich, round and ripe with aromas and flavors of briary raspberry, honeycomb, cacao, and strawberry, all wrapped around a peppery, exotic core of dark chocolate and brambly blackberry. This wine will age beautifully for years to come.

Thacher Winery 2016 Zinfandel Normal Deviation
The Thacher 2016 'Normal Deviation' is a blend of 77% Zinfandel and 23% Petite Sirah from the family's home vineyard, Kentucky Ranch, on Paso Robles' famed Westside. On the nose, one can immediately sense the sea salt, blueberries, and dark chocolate notes. The Petite Sirah lends a unique hoisin tang. The palate is more red-fruited, with distinctive flavors of fresh strawberries covered in balsamic, sea salt and crushed peppercorn. The tannins are beautifully polished and rounded, that while friendly, also show incredible weight. Enjoy!

A great selection of high-end Pinot Noir from some of the best wine regions for Pinot Noir in the US. Give four each of three different wines.

About the Wine:
Bridlemile Dundee Hills Oregon Pinot Noir: Fed by cool winds from the Columbia Gorge, Dundee Hills AVA is the perfect climate for our cuvee, produced in collaboration with renowned Pinot Noir maker Archery Summit.

Etude Carneros Estate Pinot Noir: Smooth and elegant, this Pinot from Etude hails from Carneros¿the southernmost point of Sonoma and Napa valleys. The topography is well-suited for growing Pinot Noir as the bay winds and rolling fog keep temperatures cool.

Adelsheim Breaking Ground Pinot Noir: From the hillsides of the Chehalem Mountains, Oregon comes the silky smooth Adelsheim Breaking Ground Pinot. The balanced black cherry and earthy foundation is tempered to a supple finish with 11-month aging in French oak barrels. Committed to the long-term health of planet Earth, Adelsheim is a LIVE-certified sustainable winery.
