The Best
Wine Gifts from Sonoma
for 2019

2016 Dime Red Blend

"Dime is a perfect ten. A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot from two of the most prime spots in the Santa Ynez Valley, this wine is a wonderful portrayal of where it comes from and how it was made. Grapes were picked at optimal ripeness for fruit flavor and texture, and the juice was fermented in stainless steel before 14 months aging in 40% new french oak. The result is soft tannins and a lush, velvety texture." Information provided by Winc.

2016 Diviner Cabernet Sauvignon

"Diviner is a glimpse into the unique terroir of Santa Ynez Valley - a region that is diverse in terrain and microclimates and a producer of wines that stand up to the best of their kind. This single-varietal Cabernet Sauvignon is from Happy Canyon and was fermented in a closed stainless steel tank prior to 14 months aging in 35% new French oak. Pumpovers during fermentation aided tannin development without over extraction. Rich but not opulent, this red is generous and balanced." Information provided by Winc.

2016 Salient Chardonnay

"Salient focuses on elegant expressions of California's three most notable varietals, sourced from their most highly esteemed A.V.A.s. To craft this 2016 Chardonnay, we hand-picked grapes from an Organic Carneros vineyard and fermented the juice in neutral French oak barrels. Two-thirds of the lot went through a second fermentation called Malolactic Fermentation, for added texture and richness. Thanks to the cool climate of Carneros-Sonoma and the high natural acidity that results, this wine remains crisp and bright, but with complex notes of butterscotch and caramel and the creaminess that comes from fermentation in barrel." Information provided by Winc.

Briarwood Winery Select Zinfandel

"Inviting and alluring, this old vine Zinfandel tempts with aromas of baking spices, berry bramble and toasted oak. It's a truly classic California Zinfandel, best enjoyed with grilled steaks, barbecue pork, corn on the cob and roasted vegetables." Information provided by GiftTree.

2016 Pierce Canyon Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

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.

It displays an opaque garnet color with a bouquet driven by fruity aromas of blackberry liqueur and hoisin sauce. 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. Information provided by GiftTree.
