Item Description

Northern California Red Wine Package, including Baker Lane Estate Vineyard, 2011; Valley of the Moon Blend 41; 2015 Scott Harvey Mountain Selection Barbera; and Rodney Strong 2013 Merlot

Baker Lane Estate Vineyard, 2011 - Rated 91 Points by Wine & Spirits Magazine

This cool-vintage coastal syrah smells fantastic, combining the zestiness of green peppercorn, the brightness of rose petals and a deeper umami note that suggests dried shiitake. It’s lithe and spicy, just the thing for grilled merguez sausage. 

Valley of the Moon Blend 41- Rated 90 Points by Wine.com

This wine displays dark fruit and cassis aromas, with a structured mid-palate, and well-defined tannins, reminiscent of a comforting cherry pie. Zinfandel plays the leading role in this bottling. Sangiovese adds structured tannins and Merlot delivers red fruit. Malbec and Barbera build upon the brightness in the mid-palate.

2015 Scott Harvey Mountain Selection Barbera - Rated 88 Points by Wine Critics

Bright, fresh and fruity, this wine has aromas and flavors of bright red cherry, raspberry and blackberry with mid-flavors of cola and red licorice. The finish is long, smooth and mouth-watering. Pairs well with a variety of Italian style and vegetarian meals.

Rodney Strong 2013 Merlot - Rated 84 Points by Winemag.com

Smoke and oak lounge around heartier notions of black pepper and leather in this soft, approachable wine with vague accents of cedar and herb. Lengthy on the palate, its awash in firm tannin and blackberry-vanilla.
