Wine Gift Set Includes:
- Chateau d'Hanteillan
Chateau d'Hanteillan is classic cru bourgeois, with good color, and a complex nose typical of the Haut-Medoc: meaty, ripe black fruit, a smoky, cedarwood character and a refreshing hint of green pepper. On the palate, it is well-structured, with a good balance of tannins, crisp acidity and ripe fruit. The wine is very well-made, and this shows through in the silky texture and integrated oak complexity. - Double Canyon Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Garnet in color, with pronounced aromas of black cherries dusted with cocoa powder and baking spices with hints of plums and dried earth. Medium body with flavors of black raspberries and currants supported by firm but elegant tannins that carry through the finish with lingering flavors of fruit leather - Twomey Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
Anderson Valley Pinot Noir exemplifies the unique character of the region, offering aromas of violets, cherry and wild strawberry, underscored by hints of cedar and warm soil. On the palate, it features structured tannins, bright acidity, and a polished mid-palate. The wine’s complexity shines through, revealing a beautiful balance between freshness and depth
Due to the popularity of this gift, wines or vintages sometimes sell out. Should this happen, we will always substitute with wines of equal or greater value.

Decanter
Incredibly consistent year to year, this is a cherry- and raspberry-fruited Pinot Noir with nuances of pine forest and elegant cedarwood. Medium-bodied on the palate, a core of crunchy red fruits is lifted by apple-skin tannins and bright acidity, which gradually softens to reveal a creamier mid-palate beneath a canopy of vanilla-scented rose petals. A lovely and fragrant vintage for this wine. Aged in 24% new French oak barrels with 4% whole cluster during ferments. Total time in barrel was 10 months.

Double Canyon Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
A distinctive counterpoint to California Cab, this Washington rendition offers pleasantly leafy aromas and notes of dark cherry and moderately ripened berries. Structure from oak and tannins is proportional to the fruit's intensity, enabling the wine to pair successfully with anything from roast chicken to lamb chops.

Vinous
Chateau d'Hanteillan 2019 The 2019 d'Hanteillan is impeccable. Bright, fresh and vibrant, the 2019 possesses striking aromatic complexity that is immediately alluring. Rose petal, mint and blood orange accents lend tons of complexity to the red berry fruit. D'Hanteillan is an absolute winner that shows how compelling 2019 can be. It should be a steal, too.
