About the Winery Turley Wine Cellars was founded in Napa Valley by Larry Turley in 1993. Because Larry has never met an old vine vineyard he didn’t like, Turley now makes 34 separate wines from 38 different vineyards, some with vines that date back to the late 1800s. Often weak and decaying, these old vine vineyards require extra care and attention in order to restore them to their former glory. After twenty-five years as an emergency room physician, Larry can now focus his resuscitative skills on the various old vineyards that comprise the wines he loves. All of the vineyards are either certified organic by California Certified Organic Farmers or somewhere in the process, and only natural yeasts are used in the fermentations. By focusing on old vine Zinfandels and Petite Syrahs in particular, Turley aims to both create and preserve California’s unique winemaking culture. About the Wine Old Vines is composed of a variety of old sites from California that are either too small to be made into a vineyard designate wine, or are “new” to the Turley family (and way of farming). While we bring them up to speed as far as our rigorous farming practices go, in the mean time they make up the Old Vines blend. The average age of the vines in these 18 vineyards is about 80 years old, and they hail from Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Lodi, Contra Costa, Amador, and Paso Robles. * * * 2018 Fulcrum Wines Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Normally $59.99–$50.99 15% Off This Week ONLY! About the Winery Fulcrum is a winemaker’s winery, where no corners are ever cut. It is guided solely by David Rossi’s palate and a winemaking vision that has been developed over more than 20 years. From this vision, David produces a small portfolio of vineyard- and appellation-designated Fulcrum wines. At the heart of David’s vision for Fulcrum was the idea that more is not always better, and that a wine should offer a seamless combination of fruit expression, acid, tannin, alcohol, oak influence and age-worthiness. Since these wines are made in limited quantities, grapes from a handful of acclaimed sites in the Anderson Valley, Russian River Valley, Sonoma Coast, Carneros and Chalone appellations are all that is used. About the Wine After a meticulous harvest, the wine is aged for 21 months in 40% new French oak. When first poured, deep inky purple hues shine through the glass. A complex wine–upon first sip expect layers of deep black fruits and herbs. Lifted aromas of black cherry, cassis, black tea, and cedar dance throughout the glass and onto the palate. With a lush mouthfeel and well balanced tannins, this wine has an everlasting finish with lingering hints of oak. Only 82 cases were produced. * * * Gift Basket Availability:

Nicole Rolet, Principal of Chêne Bleu Wines, says: "I first got the idea for a show-stopping display box about 8 years ago. I wanted to explain the story of our two flagship wines, Abélard & Héloïse, named after the famed medieval French lovers – the Romeo and Juliet of France. I wanted to showcase them as the protagonists at the heart of the story of our little vineyard through a unique piece of design. But it ended up taking another 8 YEARS to produce this limited-edition Gift Box, and I’m SO HAPPY that it’s finally seeing the light!" 2-Bottle Format includes The Limited Edition Gift Box with one bottle each of the Chene Bleu 'Abelard' Rouge and the Chene Bleu 'Heloise' Rouge–$224.99 3-Bottle Format includes The Limited Edition Gift Box with one bottle each of the Chene Bleu 'Abelard' Rouge, the Chene Bleu 'Heloise' Rouge, and the Chene Bleu Blanc–$274.99 * * * Gianni Gagliardo 2016 Experience Barolo Wood Gift Box The origins of Gianni Gagliardo date back to 1847, when the Colla family first began working vineyards in the Langhe zone of Piedmont.
