| This outstanding collection includes three of our favorite 90 point rated Cabernet Sauvignons hailing from California's Santa Ynez Valley, Chile's Colchagua Valley and Australia's Coonawarra. These three wines are stand out examples of intricate and amazing new world Cabernet can be. Wine Gift Trio Includes: Chile: 2010 Maquis The Hurtado family has owned the Vina Maquis vineyard for more than a century, but it wasn't until ten years ago that the family decided to make their own wine out of the terrific grapes in their own backyard. Their 2008 Cabernet is fresh, with sweet tannins and a full-bodied flavor that ends in a lovely, lingering finish. Rated 90 Points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar California: 2009 Firestone Santa Ynez Valley Firestone Vineyard specializes in expressive high-quality wines from estate and select vineyards in the Santa Ynez Valley and Paso Robles. The nose on the 2009 Santa Ynez Valley Cabernet is generous, with cassis, plum, vanilla, dusty spice, cedar, tobacco, clove and toffee. The palate is lush, juicy and balanced, with underlying tannins that add grip to the finish. Rated 90 Points Wine Enthusiast Australia: 2010 Penley Estate Phoenix Penley Estate is critically acclaimed as one of Coonawarra's leading estates. In the Phoenix Cabernet Sauvignon, mulberry and blackberry are the dominant fruit flavors enhanced by a tight palate, with silky grape tannins and elegant complex cedar oak, so typical of Penley Style. Rated 94 Points by James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion Due to the popularity of this gift, wines or vintages sometimes sell out. Should this happen, we will always substitute with the current vintage and wines with equal or greater value. |
