Wine makes an excellent gift, and we thought the Recchuiti 4pc Chocolate Varietal Box would compliment the 2006 Pinot Noir – Amber Ridge Vineyard – Russian River Valley. Celebrate the holidays by sending a wine gift-set to your “foodie” friends.

Souced from high elevations of the Stagecoach Vineyard on Pritchard Hill in eastern Napa Valley, all of the fruit for this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested on October 6, 2006 and was matured in new oak barrels for 18 months before bottling. The wine is ripe, fruit-forward and elegant with light oak nuances and fine tannins that will provide tasting enjoyment for years.

PRICE: $40.00

This 2005 Syrah from Santa Barbara County is a medium-bodied, complex mix of red berries, spiciness, natural acidity and a hint of toastiness from 18 months in neutral oak. The delicate Syrah fruit aromas and flavors are present at first taste and unfold slowly in a smooth finish.

PRICE: $25.00

From the classic Pinot Noir region of Sonoma County, this 2006 wine has vibrant cherry, spice and violet aromas that develop into dark raspberry and plum flavors. Upon opening in the glass, it offers a balance of fresh fruit and bright acidity with a velvety, lasting finish.

The "Cuvee Elizabeth" honors Liz McCooey as the first college graduate of the Vincent and Theresa Joyce family grandchildren.  The 2006 vintage has produced a vibrant red wine that is 100% Syrah and similar in style to the 2005 Cuvee Theresa, but with more complex fruit aromas and a deeper, delicious finish on the palate.
