Garofoli Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Podium 2013

Region: Marche, it

Variety: White Wine

Notes: Golden yellow with greenish reflections. Intense aroma of ripe yellow fruit accompanied by elegant scents of citrus fruit combined with a note of honey, an ensemble of great complexity and persistence. Seductive and soft but with great character and strength, sapidity is extremely prolonged, warm and elegant; the fruity notes of the bouquet are reprised in the constantly evolving flavor.

Garretson Aisling Syrah 2004

Region: Central Coast, California

Variety: Red Wine

Notes: Our Aisling (pronounced ASH-ling') Syrah serves as a stylistic counterpoint to all the other Syrahs we produce. The other Syrahs in our portfolio come from cooler vineyard sources, whereas Aisling is from slightly warmer sites. All of our other Syrahs have a little bit of Viognier added to the final blend. Not Aisling. It's always 100% Syrah. And while all of our other Syrahs utilize French cooperage, the Aisling is always partially barrel fermented and aged in American oakusually 50% to 70% new.

Garretson Syrah Bassetti Vineyard Mon Amie 2005

Region: Central Coast, California

Variety: Red Wine

Notes: "The 2005 Syrah Mon Amie exhibits a dark ruby/purple hue along with classic aromas of plums, black currants, soy, loamy soil, pepper, and barrique. Medium body, beautiful richness, and an elegant, restrained style suggest it will drink well for 7-8 years." 90 Points

Garretson Syrah Hoage Vineyard The Bulladoir 2004

Region: Central Coast, California

Variety: Red Wine

Notes: "Impressive, powerful, rich, and concentrated is the 2004 Syrah The Bulladoir, a blend of 96% Syrah and 4% Viognier. An opaque blue/purple color is accompanied by sumptuous aromas of barbecue smoke, creme de cassis, blackberries, and camphor. It makes a huge tactile impression, yet remains balanced and is neither over the top nor pruny/raisiny. Drink this beauty over the next 10-12+ years."

Garrida Quinta da Garrida Vinho Tinto 2006

Region: pt

Variety: Red Wine

Notes: Garrida's blend of 50% Tinta Roriz and 50% Touriga Nacional is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. This wood treatment lends the wine a fuller body, but still allows its fruity character to show through.

Gary Farrell Allen Vineyard Pinot Noir 2002

Region: Russian River, Sonoma County, California

Variety: Red Wine

Notes: "Monumental, magnificent. Russian River Pinot hardly gets much better. Huge flavors of blackberries, tart red cherries, coffee, cola, cherry tomato and generous Asian spices, all of it well-oaked, and the acidity is crisp and cleansing. Layered and never stops changing in the glass. This is beautiful now, and should hold and improve through 2008."

Gary Farrell Cresta Ridge Vineyard Chardonnay 2005

Region: Russian River, Sonoma County, California

Variety: White Wine

Notes: Winemaking Green Valley, the coolest of the Russian River Valley sub-appellations, allows for even longer maturation time, providing wonderful intensity and complexity to the fruit profile. As with all of our Chardonnays, we select a minimum of three strains of yeast for primary fermentation which add complexity and compliment the fruit profiles contributed by the vineyard. This wine was 100% barrel fermented, incorporating 35% new French oak, sur lie aged, and ML fermentation in approximately 80% of the lot. Though the vines are only six years old, through meticulous vineyard management and care, Cresta Ridge is rapidly becoming one of our most popular and highly acclaimed Chardonnays.

Gary Farrell Olivet Lane Chardonnay 2016

Region: Russian River, Sonoma County, California

Its always welcome nose of Meyer lemon, crisp apple and Satsuma mandarin fill the glass alongside the intoxicating aroma of freshly baked butter cookies. The palate is equally as generous, offering layers of lemon cream, coriander, brioche and flaky puff pastry, and the supple, lengthy finish leaves nothing to be desired.
