Winemaker Library Vertical Virtual Tasting

For the month of January, we are offering a library vertical of Les Galets Syrah. Receive one bottle each of 2012 and 2013 vintages. Guests get 10% off, club members get 30% off, and everyone gets free ground shipping for this vertical, reflected in your shopping cart.
For the wine geeks out there, Mac and Adrian will be doing a deep-dive into these wines via Zoom. Pick up this vertical to enjoy on your own, or join us in a few weeks to taste through them together.
26 acres of the 620 acre Laetitia Vineyard were planted to Syrah in one of the coolest growing regions in the state; a mere 4 miles from the ocean. Calcareous soils and south-facing slopes combine to produce grapes that yield supple and concentrated wines.
