This superb selection of wines and RIEDEL Tasting Performance Set make this basket a perfect gift for anyone who appreciates fine wines.

Kosta Browne One - Sixteen Russian River Chardonnay 2019 is bright and lasting on the palate. A gorgeous mélange of quince, green apple, pear, and persimmon balanced by undertones of toast and delicate oak. On the palate, pure varietal characteristics with a balanced richness and bright acidity.

Sea Smoke 2018 Southing Pinot Noir offers suave aromas of rich black cherry, caramel cream and spearmint, making for a wondrous, elegant and silky nose on this monopole bottling. Chiseled, expertly polished tannins frame the more delicate sip, where the black-cherry-cream flavors are enhanced by star anise and nutmeg accents.

Duckhorn Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 combines beautiful complexity with rich intensity. Layers of blackberry, huckleberry and black currants are supported by firm, dusty tannins that frame the fruit. On the palate, it is juicy and bright, with luxurious cassis and dark berry flavors supported by notes of fig, cardamom, clove and cracked black pepper that linger on the long, well-structured finish.

Cliff Lede Sauvignon Blanc is a revelrous elixir that flourishes a multitudinous array of citrus-tinged aromas and flavors. The exceedingly seductive perfume of orange blossom, pink-fleshed grapefruit, and warm lemon soufflé entices, whilst restorative verdant notes ascend out of the glass and meld with hints of lemon verbena, tarragon, and ginger. The entrance boasts a brace of lemon candy across the palate followed by an unraveling of lemon meringue, tangerine marmalade, and lychee flavors. With air, the wine further complexes and is punctuated by plump apricots, toasted brioche, and crushed chalk. This fun, sexy, and smart wine is imbued with a delightfully bright acidity and a long, rich full-bodied texture.

The RIEDEL Tasting Performance Set contains four pieces: Cabernet/Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The shape of the Cabernet/Merlot glass showcases the majestically structured red wines in all their complexity and finesse. The shape of the Sauvignon Blanc glass shows the combination of fruit and acidity perfectly balanced on the palate, giving a harmonious taste experience. The shape of the Pinot Noir bowl supports peatiness flavor and the taste of plum of these sensual red wines. The size of the Chardonnay bowl allows space for the rich bouquet to develop its superbly diverse range of aromas, while minimizing the risk of becoming over concentrated.

Performance is the first RIEDEL wine glass series ever to feature bowls with a light optic impact, which not only adds a pleasing visual aspect to the bowl, but also increases the inner surface area. All RIEDEL glasses are dishwasher safe.
