As many of you know, in addition to our twice annual wine club selections, we also offer an optional third shipment of 3 bottles chosen from our smallest and most select productions.
The 2009 'Rare, Reserve and Estate' shipment includes 2 bottles of our 2007 Reserve Zinfandel ($38), an exclusive blend of westside Paso vineyards, including our own head-trained, dry-farmed estate fruit. Production of this special blend was only 200 cases.
This shipment also includes 1 bottle of the 2007 Carmenere ($36) from Colbert Vineyard. Carmenere is a rare grape in the central coast, but this long-forgotten Bordeaux variety thrives in the mistral climate of San Miguel and produces layered wines with overtones of chocolate and garden herbs. This gentle giant is also unfined and unfiltered. Only 50 cases produced.
If you would like to receive this special offering or sign up for the annual RR&E shipments, please let us know! We'll be happy to fill your order. Shipping will begin on Wednesday. Customers in CA, NV and AZ will receive their packages by Golden State Overnight. All other states by UPS. FedEx overnight and 2-day delivery are also available for an additional fee. Please let us know if you wish to request a Weather Hold.
As always, you are welcome to add to your order and save on shipping!
