About the Wine

Alysian 2015 Chardonnay
The Alysian 2015 Rochioli Vineyard Chardonnay comes from a very diverse part of the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County. Here, the grapes benefit from a diversity of soil types, the vineyard's close proximity to the ocean, and the contours of the Valley, which allow for morning fog and cool evening breezes (which allows the fruit to ripen slowly and evenly - ideal for Chardonnay!). The Rochioli Vineyard is renowned for its rich, elegant wines with distinct characteristics. On the nose, this 2015 Chardonnay offers notes of Bosc pear, ripe apricot, nutmeg and persimmons. The palate is rich yet refreshingly, mouthwateringly approachable with flavors of Golden Delicious apple, a field full of stone fruit, and hints of vanilla and cardamom from the toasty oak barrels. A beautiful wine!

Townley 2014 Chardonnay
The Townley 2014 Alder Springs Vineyard Chardonnay comes from the mountain slopes of northern Mendocino, where the fruit is meticulously farmed to produce grapes of exceptional character. This wine shows winemaker Randal Townley's preferred style of Chardonnay - one that is fruit-driven yet complex and balanced with focused structure. It is reminiscent of a White Burgundy with citrus notes, crisp acidity, and a touch of minerality. Aromas of subtle pear, mango and nutmeg nicely complement the flavors of rich orchard fruit, hazelnut and lemon zest that are all supported by the wine's full body and creamy texture.

Cache Creek 2015 Chardonnay
The nose of this beautiful Chardonnay combines zesty aromatics of freshly squeezed lemons with traces of white peach and green apple, a delight to any sensory appreciation. As the palate takes over, honeydew melon, pear and tropical fruit are delicately combined with tiny traces of lemon-lime and lychee that dazzle even the experienced taster.

On Point 2018 Chardonnay
2018 was a great year for Chardonnay in California with excellent yields and extremely high quality for the fruit. This On Point Chardonnay's true golden color catches your attention at once. The nose is full of granny smith apple aromas along with hints of wild flowers and ripened citrus. The body is silky smooth while apple and citrus flavors dominate. Some minerality is apparent along with a wisp of oak. Finish is full and long-lasting and the last drop makes you yearn for more. Aged in used French Oak for 12 months. Many pairing choices are available, from a succulent roasted chicken to a salmon and dill combination. Better yet, drink by itself with some toasted brie.

Poundstone 2015 Chardonnay Sangiacomo
Poundstone's 2015 Sangiacomo Chardonnay was made in a classical Chablis style with high acidity, a rich mouthfeel, and balanced flavors. On the nose, floral aromas are accented by citrus, pineapple, pear and vanilla, while the palate is vibrant, fresh and bright with complex flavors of pear, apple, vanilla and honeysuckle. This Chardonnay is balanced and its flavors leave a lasting impression on the palate.

Cotiere 2013 Chardonnay Tally Rincon Vineyard
Produced from one of the finest vineyards in the Arroyo Grande Valley, the Cotiere 2013 Talley Rincon Vineyard Chardonnay is a terrific wine with balanced flavors, stunning freshness and a nice depth of flavor. Clean and classy from the start, this Chardonnay opens with lots of mineral characteristics that mingle with exotic green herbs, citrus, and stone-like fruit flavors.

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.

Per Caso 2012 Red Blend Iberian
Per Caso's most unique blend, the Iberian, is produced exclusively from traditional Portuguese varieties and pays homage to the fine wines made in Portugal's Douro wine region. The 2012 Iberian Blend combines 63% Touriga Nacional, 29% Tinta Cao, and 8% Souzao from the esteemed Adelaida District in Paso Robles. Full-bodied and quite supple, this wine has aromas of bergamot oil, herbs, mint and cocoa that complement the robust palate of dark berries and plum flavors. It's velvety mouthfeel and soft tannins linger on the complex finish. Aged 36 months in oak, plus 12 months in bottle. Enjoy!

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.

Cotiere 2013 Chardonnay Tally Rincon Vineyard
Produced from one of the finest vineyards in the Arroyo Grande Valley, the Cotiere 2013 Talley Rincon Vineyard Chardonnay is a terrific wine with balanced flavors, stunning freshness and a nice depth of flavor. Clean and classy from the start, this Chardonnay opens with lots of mineral characteristics that mingle with exotic green herbs, citrus, and stone-like fruit flavors.

Poundstone 2015 Chardonnay Sangiacomo
Poundstone's 2015 Sangiacomo Chardonnay was made in a classical Chablis style with high acidity, a rich mouthfeel, and balanced flavors. On the nose, floral aromas are accented by citrus, pineapple, pear and vanilla, while the palate is vibrant, fresh and bright with complex flavors of pear, apple, vanilla and honeysuckle. This Chardonnay is balanced and its flavors leave a lasting impression on the palate.

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

Stolo 2017 Pinot Noir Creekside Vineyard
Stolo Vineyards & Winery has ascended to the top of ultra-quality wine producers through numerous high scores from wine industry periodicals and multiple high awards in top wine competitions. Their 2017 Pinot Noir from the San Luis Obispo County is proving to be yet another impressive vintage. This almost magical Pinot Noir offers a nose of bright pomegranate, cranberry, rose petal, pine needles and smoky oak as a starter. Its garnet color features a palate of pomegranate, fresh strawberry and sage, along with flavors of under-ripe raspberry and dried thyme. The finish is nicely balanced with fantastic purity of fruit that holds for an extended period. All fruit was harvested at night.

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.

Donelan 2012 Pinot Noir Two Brothers
A blend of fruit from four different North Coast properties, the Donelan 2012 'Two Brothers' Pinot Noir represents the Sonoma Mountain, Mendocino, Western Sonoma Coast and the Russian River Valley appellations. This wine expresses a dynamic juxtaposition of red fruits and forest fruits, alongside nutmeg and cedar. Paired with food, each of these is highlighted in its own way, and are together balanced with baking spice, fine tannin, and freshness.

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.

Babcock 2013 Pinot Noir Appellation's Edge
Babcock's 2013 'Appellation's Edge' Pinot Noir hails from the Radian Vineyard in Sta. Rita Hills, where the cool, breezy climate and rocky, well-drained soils create an 'edgy' terroir with plenty of energy that translates to enhanced fruit character and great intensity in the finished wine. The 2013 'Appellation's Edge' Pinot Noir is dark, dense, and chalky - yet elegant - with ethereal, fine-tuned dark fruit flavors and impressive complexity and balance. This vineyard continues to make some of the most amazing wine in the appellation.

On the nose, aromas of cedar-cigar box mingle with hints of classic sweet clove and a deep rose.

About the Wine

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!"

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.

Corley 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon
CORLEY'S 2015 Yewell Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a tiny property located on Ehlers Lane in the St. Helena sub-appellation of Napa Valley. The Corley family has been sourcing fruit from this exceptional vineyard since 1982 - and for good reason! The vineyard yields intense, small berries that produce similarly intense wines. On the nose, rich aromas of ripe, red berries and undertones of sweet blond oak, light caramel and mocha enliven the senses. The palate is wonderfully balanced and lush with a deep core of ripe fruit and richness in the depth of body.

Pono 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Mana
In Hawaiian, mana means powerful, and it is the perfect name for this rich, concentrated, seamless wine. Dark garnet in color, the Pono 2014 "Mana" Cabernet Sauvignon offers a sophisticated bouquet filled with notes of plum, mocha, toasted nuts and pipe tobacco. The palate is velvety, full-bodied and well balanced with complementing flavors of black cherry, leather and spice. An elegant yet powerful wine that is drinking beautifully now.

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.

Hill Family 2013 Red Blend Red Door
94 POINTS -- Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate "The 2013 Proprietary Red Estate is another big-time winner, tipping the scales at 15.5% alcohol. This is the blockbuster of the entire portfolio and a sensational effort. Yes, it's the most expensive, but is also the most promising for long-term development of, say 10-12 years. This is a beauty and another top-flight effort. The color is opaque purple and the wine is just explosive in the mouth with its richness." Winemaker's Notes - Alison Doran Red Door is a wine blended to take advantage of our best small lots that work together in the most rich and flavorful way, regardless of variety or appellation. In 2013, Cabernet Sauvignon was once again rich and elegant, with the new Windy Flats vineyard pulling in the intense flavors, and Baker (vineyard) providing the mountain structure. But Apallas, Beau Terroir, and Knubis (vineyards) have wonderful individuality that would be lost in a big blend, so the Red Door can give them a place to show off. "Inky bluish/purple with notes of blueberry liqueur, black raspberry, licorice and incense, this full-bodied opulent wine hits all the sweet spots on the palate, but is dry and full bodied with voluptuous texture, terrific palate presence and complexity."

Classic California Wine Sampler Gift

$120.00 plus shipping

Why This Gift

Featuring 3 classic California wines from top wineries

"California is the largest and most significant wine region in the United States. With roots dating back to the 18th century, California wine did not receive national recognition until 1976 in the Judgment of Paris, where Napa Valley Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon put this region on the map in the wine world. California is home to a complex array of climate and terroir, allowing for a great variety of wines and styles in one region.

The Millesima team has picked bottles for the California Classic Wine Gift with three distinctly California styles from well-known producers. These wines are uniquely bold and prized by many. The classic California red wines are big and structured with dark berry fruit and vanilla flavors, while the typical Golden State white wines are weighty with a round palate and tropical fruit.

The California Classic Wine Gift Set contains three unique bottles: Hardin is a hidden gem wine from an exclusive group of top California producers creating a luscious and dynamic Cabernet Sauvignon; Orin Swift is one of the most well-known wineries in California creating a cult like following for their unique and exciting wines; and Cakebread Cellars is one of the top wineries in Napa Valley creating high quality wines since 1973.

Please note that for deliveries outside of New York City, gift boxes will be disassembled for safe and proper shipping of the wines. "
