Here is a great sampler 3-pack of the wines from very old vines, 2 from the Shenandoah AVA and one from the Fiddletown AVA. Cellared in French oak and further bottle-aged under our Élevage program. These are Zins with balance and finesse.

 

One bottle each of:

2020 EASTON Zinfandel, Esola Vineyard

2017 EASTON Zinfandel, D’Agostini Vineyard

2016 EASTON Zinfandel, Rinaldi Vineyard

 

Enjoy 2 cellar releases of our top Syrah, ASCENT in this Special 2-Pack. You will receive 1 each of the following. As with all of our Special Packs, this wine ships for free.

 

 

 

Each year Bill Easton, an original Rhône Ranger, crafts his top Syrah named ASCENT from several Sierra Foothills vineyard sites ranging up to 3,000 feet in elevation.  All of the grapes are grown in granite and volcanic-based soils. Only 8 barrels are produced and spend 22 months in 100% new French oak barrels before bottle aging. This is a deeply concentrated wine with dense layers of aromatic complexity. 

 

 

 

Hands down, the 2011 vintage is our staff's favorite vintage right now. 2011 was a cool year, producing very elegant and long-lived wines. The L'Autre (grenache-blend) is especially silky and a great way to start off your holiday meals. The Sentinel Oak Syrah is smooth with some soft spices. The Estate Zinfandel is still powerful but with very soft tannins.

The 2023 Harvest is shaping up to be a similarly cool and late year, so we are looking forward to seeing how they progress. In the meantime, we are lucky to have some 2011 wines left in the library.
