The Best
Wine in Gift Boxes
for 2020

A long time ago, a friend gave me an elegant leather case for carrying my wine with me to restaurant and friends' houses. We wore that thing out! But every restaurant we brought it to, someone noted they were jealous of the nice-looking case. For that reason alone, we love this wine gift. There's even room for an ice pack to keep those babies chilled en route.

"This beautiful ruby-colored wine is made in Sonoma County, California. Aromas of cranberry, deep raspberry, and Santa Rosa plum are woven with top-notes of anise and coastal redwood spice. The palate is perfectly balanced with flavors of cherry and peach pith, broad tannins, and textures of stone fruit flesh, together complimenting the bright acidity that leads into a long, fresh finish."

"Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon opens with intriguing plum, ripe fig and allspice aromas. On the palate, the wine offers flavors of ripe blackberry, chocolate-covered cherry, and hints of cedar. There’s a nice palate weight and texture with ample, yet fine-grained, tannins and a soft finish. Enjoy this Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with Memphis-style dry rub pork or beef ribs, grilled tri-tip, or gnocchi with wild mushrooms, sage, and prosciutto."

The wine finishes with silky tannins, cedar, and bramble flavors."

Included in this Gift

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.

Celebrity rosé wines are cropping up everywhere. They're often quite good and shouldn't be overlooked. Celebrity-touched wines also make fun wine gifts as they seem extra special.

"LVE by John Legend French Sparkling Rosé
The pink color of this Sparkling Rosé is reminiscent of a vineyard peach. With a fruity nose, blending notes of citrus and small red fruits, the bubbles are soft and pleasant. It’s well-balanced with voluptuousness and hints of red currants and pomelos, complemented by a nice acidity on the finish.

LVE by John Legend Cotes de Provence Rosé
This Rosé is a brilliant, pale pink color. In the glass, it’s highly aromatic with delicate notes of peach blossom, raspberry, and apricot. On the palate, crisp light notes of fresh picked strawberry and white nectarine lead to an elegant, lengthy and a mineral finish."

If you buy this gift before May 4, you can (hopefully) enjoy the wines during a live virtual wine tasting with John Legend & Jean-Charles Boisset, courtesy of Wine.com. More details here.

Underneath its fine elegance lies a strong and sensual champagne.

Much lauded, the 2008 vintage is now legendary, if for no other reason that it was released AFTER the 2009. Except that's not the only reason it's a top vintage from the famed Champagne house: "2008 was dominated by grey, overcast skies – an exception in a decade characterized by bold, generous sunshine. Just when the harvest was getting underway, the weather conditions were finally perfect: blue skies and prolonged north-northeasterly winds. The grapes were riper than anyone dared hope, and had truly outstanding balance. The vines were in perfect health. To the bracing acidity, concision and aromatic purity expected of the 2008 vintage, Dom Pérignon adds depth, density and complexity. The light is warmer and less harsh." ~ Richard Geoffroy, former Dom Perignon Chef de Cave

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.

Rated 95pts by Decanter Magazine
Each bottle hand finished with French pewter labels, polished, and individually presented in a hand-crafted wooden gift box.

Decanter: "This is a three-way assemblage: three grape varieties – and equal percentage of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with 20% of Pinot Meunier – and a blend of 3 vintages, 2009, 2010 and 2012. The nose is full of flavours and rich with notes of white flowers and crème patissière. However, the palate is crisp, fresh and delicate with a lovely creamy texture. It is elegant, refined and very stylish (unlike the bottle!). It’s a pleasant combination of power and concentration blended with finesse and elegance. While the dosage is 9g/l, it feels much drier, more like a 5g/l and this probably due to the spinal cord of acidity." Jul 2017

Long Shadows is the name of a portfolio of 6 brands that began in 2000 as an exercise to demonstrate the world class quality of Washington State viticulture.
