Rosé isn't just for summer — it's great with lighter fare all year round. This case was marketed for summer because that's when it's most popular, but when Rosé runs out at our house, sometime in late Fall, it always feels like a small tragedy.

Why buy any old six pack of rosé when you can choose this one? "These are all hard-to-find Rosés that have been carefully selected for this uniquely pink combo case; crafted by superb California winemakers. All of the wines included have won fantastic scores and accolades at major wine competitions, and/or are considered first-rate examples of wonderful Rosé that you simply need to taste! Since each wine is made from a different wine varietal, you'll get to have a delicious and exciting tasting experience with friends and family."

Included in this Gift
One bottle of Clairbel Vintage Rosé. For more information on this wine, please see the Tasting Notes.

Presentation
This fine wine gift is presented in our enduring wooden wine crate. A complimentary card with your personal message or greeting is included with your gift."

We received this rosé gift from GiftTree and feel confident recommending it. The presentation is lovely and elegant. One thing to note about the rosé — it's vintage and we received a 2017. Contrary to common knowledge, rosé can age beautifully for a few years, depending on the grapes and winemaking. The 2017 Claribel Rosé is still quite enjoyable, but the color has deepend from when this photo was taken.

Vintages vary by location. The current vintage in stock will be shipped.

The 2012 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon artfully combines the classic elegance of the old world and the ripe fruit of California. It displays an opaque garnet color with a bouquet driven by fruity aromas of blackberry liqueur. It also offers the savory components of sage and molasses. These complex aromatics are complemented by sandalwood and nutmeg characteristics indicative of American oak aging. This is a well-structured wine with a compact and rich mid-palate buttressed by silky tannins and generous acidity. Given proper cellaring, this wine will provide drinking pleasure through 2037.

About the bottle tote: Inspired by their partnership with ReserveBar, Billykirk designed the 504 Bottle Carrier to offer a stylish way to bring a bottle from A to B.

American full-grain leather offers a resilient flexibility, allowing the carrier to age gracefully and develop a unique character as it does so. Designed to be lightweight and easy to transport, the minimal design is able to collapse nearly flat.
