Item Description

The Wine Gift Basket includes: 

1) Silver Oak 2011 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

“Our Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon reflects over forty years of winemaking in Sonoma County’s Alexander Valley, a delicious and seamless expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from this historic California wine region made famous by this varietal. A blend of multiple vineyard sites including our Red Tail, Miraval and Geyserville Estate vineyards, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon gains complexity through the varied terroir found across Alexander Valley’s hillsides, benchlands and valley floor. With exuberant dark fruit flavors and a rich and generous mid-palate, our Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is released six months ahead of our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon as its approachable, fruit-forward profile lends itself to earlier enjoyment.”

2) Tate 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon, Mt. Veeder, Napa Valley

“In this inaugural Premiere lot for TATE, the first of many. We took our two Cabernet Sauvignon mountain, micro single vineyards that we work with and created an amazing blend. 50% comes from atop Howell Mountain, where this less than an acre vineyard is meticulously hand-tended by the vineyard owner producing perfect fruit that results in amazing aromatics. The other 50% comes from the cool Mt. Veeder appellation. This late ripening vineyard contributes concentration and structure. Together this initial TATE premiere lot is a stunning wine with an amazing ability to age for many years to come.”

3) Ehlers Estate 2012 Merlot, St. Helena Napa Valley

“Another luscious, full, and rich Merlot that illustrates the full potential of the Ehlers terroir. A complex presentation of licorice, black raspberries, red currants, cappuccino, and chocolate cherries. The tannins are at once fine and chewy, and the bold, juicy structure of this wine is what has always made the Ehlers Merlot a Merlot for Cabernet drinkers. 2012 was a great vintage in the Napa Valley. Early spring rains gave us just the water we needed to get the vines growing, then the warm weather set in right on cue. All summer long we enjoyed warm days and cool nights that were so beautiful it was almost too good to be true! Every grape on the estate was picked at optimum ripeness." Farming: 100% CCOF Certified Organic Oak Regime: 100% French Oak, 50% New Primary Coopers: Nadalie, St. Martin, Baron, Demptos, De Jarnac”

4) Limerick Lane (appears to be the wine in the basket but bottle says nothing other than “Limerick Lane”)

“Omni-present berry is tamed by a seductive minerality creating an intense, dense nose that is not over-blown.  A full, rich mouth-feel is sharpened by acidity and stretched by tannins that coat the entire mouth and last.  Chewy and intense, this massive wine is balanced and full of clean fruit and earth without raisin or oak intensity.”

5) Libration: Los Carneros Napa Valley 2012 (appears to be the wine in the basket but bottles says nothing other than “Libration”)

“A stunningly beautiful, crushy-zingy wine with aromas and flavors of tart cherry jam, hints of cocoa, and sage. The wine is lush and silky on the mid-palate yet is vibrant – with a mouth-watering, long, juicy finish.”

And Assorted Accesories: Joie Expand And Seal Wine Bottle Topper, Rabbit Wing Corkscrew with Non-Stick Spiral, Metrokane Rabbit Black Velvet Wine Bottle Foil Cutter, and Tommy Bahama Silver Seahorse Bottle Stopper
