Large wines bottles are always impressive showstoppers. These are perfect for dinner parties and celebrations. They also increase the aging time a wine can be consumed. If you got married in 2015, you can keep a larger format wine much longer and bring it out for a special anniversary! They are also fun to celebrate a child's birth year, obviously not for the kid but for the parents.
This is a fruit-forward wine, with dark fruit dominating the palate. Blackberry, blueberry, black cherry, and currants explode on the nose and palate. Black currant, raspberry, and cherry pair seamlessly with cigar box, leather, tobacco leaf, and subtle herbaceous. Hints of black olive, black tea, dark cocoa, and eucalyptus complement the soft tannins and keep this wine balanced. This medium-bodied wine finishes with fig preserves and baking spices. This is an elegant wine crafted to be enjoyed upon release but can easily hold up to age for another 7-10 years.
This medium-bodied Reserve Zinfandel is perfect for bourbon enthusiasts. Its alluring blend of ripe bing cherry, Campari, and orange peel creates a captivating entrance, while raspberry and red apple notes infuse a fresh and lively character. The subtle presence of toasted coconut adds a layer of richness, enhancing the wine's expressive nature. Hints of pepper provide a delightful contrast, making a harmonious dance of flavor that Zinfandel aficionados love.
This limited-production single vineyard is a true gem. This Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied and is supported with abundant structure, creating a wine of remarkable depth. With floral aromatics and a lush body, the black cherry and plum are indulgent and intertwine with savory and herbal notes. Complexity builds with the presence of coffee and chocolate notes. This wine is rich and the finish lingers. This wine is an exceptionally crafted wine.
