Description
1. Gainey Chardonnay, Sta Rita Hills 2020
This Chardonnay is the epitome of summer in a bottle. Light, peachy, smooth, and crisp, it strikes the perfect balance that even non-Chardonnay lovers can’t resist. I may have stashed a case at home, savoring every last drop. Oops, maybe I shouldn’t be sharing this little secret with everyone..
2. Gainey Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills 2020
If you adore the likes of Clark & Telephone, Melville, or Brewer-Clifton, then this Pinot Noir is a match made in heaven for you. With a perfect balance of ripe cherry and raspberry notes intertwined with hints of spice, it’s a velvety, underpriced gem that will make your heart sing.
3. Gainey Vineyards Merlot, Santa Ynez Valley 2018
Don’t let that movie Sideways discourage you from experiencing the magic of Merlot. Trust me, this one is worth a try. Founder, Dan Gainey, didn’t uproot his Merlot vines after the film’s release, and thank goodness for that. With its plummy character, chocolate undertones, and a touch of freshness to combat the Texas summer heat, it’s a true winner.
