Giving the Gift of Woot

Now you can give the gift that keeps on aging, thanks to Wine.Woot. We'll send your gift order wherever you tell us to, within the law (see more below). Along with his or her wine gift, the lucky recipient will receive a customized card and a beautiful cardboard box. Packing materials may also be included! Just tell us where you want your shipment of wine to go, and what you want the gift card to say.

Here's the lovely original artwork that will appear on the card, in case you were wondering. Yes, this is for real.

TOTALLY, LIKE, IMPORTANT: Keep in mind that gifts are subject to the same shipping restrictions as all Wine.Woot orders. The recipient must be sober and over 21 at the time of delivery. Shipments to certain states will take a very long time, while we cannot ship at all to others. You'll want to check the front page for details.

I Want One!

linmoo is a fan, "I've been to Sunce several times and I always recommend it to anyone in the Santa Rosa area. I'm particularly fond of their Syrah..."

[WINERY] becausehelovesus replies, "NO water added, no dealching! I will have to look in my journal to see what the Brix were at harvest..."

canonizer follows-up, "But if it's fully dry, given how much sugar was in the grapes at harvest, how come there isn't more alcohol? Was water added? Was the wine de-alched?"

[WINERY] becausehelovesus addresses the acidity question.

thirdfuerst gets all tingly.

[WINERY] becausehelovesus tells us about the tasting room.

[WINERY] becausehelovesus reports no issues and says you can drink 'em now.

cheron98 drops by with a spreadsheet.

canonizer asks, "The conversion on the Barbera (and the PS) seems suspicious. 27 brix doesn't normally yield an acidic 14% wine. Could you discuss?"

PhilSandifer spins it, "A flip question - are these all drinking well now, or do some of them need some cellar time to even be approachable?"

doctorclark inquires, "Does anyone know if Barbera can be tricked into having different flavors based on growing temp/climate the way zins and other grapes can?"

michellecapasso inquires, "Did you experience any smoke issues with the '08 vintage? If so, what did you do about it?"

[WINERY] becausehelovesus tells us about a wine adventure.

edinel says, "Love this winery. Their barbera is a thing of joy"

[WINERY] becausehelovesus provides some windows for aging.

kylemittskus ponders cellaring.

airjesse123 tells us a bit about Barbera.

Cesare is late with the links.

[WINERY] becausehelovesus has a deal for ya.

Suncé means “Sun” in Croatian.

So just think what would happen if Superman drank it.

We don’t take winery names lightly. If you’re going to call yourself something like “Golden Meadow Canyon” you’d better darn well be situated near a canyon containing a golden meadow. That’s why when we see something like this Suncé Winery Red Sampler 3-Pack we get pretty excited.

Think of the implications. A winery that could provide the energy powering all photosynthesis and truly almost all life as we know it. A winery recognized by primitive cultures as a deity. A winery that exists in a plasmatic state, rotating faster at its equator than its poles due to convection in the middle of its lifespan, fusing hydrogen nuclei into delicious Russian River Valley Petite Syrah, Bastoni Zinfandel, and Barbera wines. And helium.

Think of the power coursing through your body! Forget the Zin’s plush flavors from 13 months in French and American oak and the Petite Syrah’s nice tannins balancing ripe fruit flavors, you could be solar powered!

Until the whole operation explodes in 4.5 billion years. But until then, wow!

2007 Russian River Valley Petite Syrah:

  • Pressed: October 2nd 2007
  • PH: 3.47
  • TA: .42
  • RS: 030
  • Alcohol: 13.9%
  • Aged: 13 months in 80% new Tonnellerie Loureiro French Oak
  • Bottled: Sept 2008
  • Cellar for: 7+ years

Black, black tiny berries with mature seeds. The aromatics are super-dee-dooperdy Petite-like; tons of new car and fresh rubber tinged with baked blackberry pie. The wine is utterly black and its fruit character is of the ripe mixed fruit type (almost hard to put your finger on just which fruit--maybe some exotic tropical fruit never before tasted)--it's all held together with nice tannins that yield on the finish giving it good length.

2007 Barbera, St. Olof’s Vineyard, Clear Lake:
  • Hand Picked and Crushed: Oct 15, 2007
  • Brix at Harvest: 27
  • Pressed: Nov 11, 2007

  • Aged: 14 months in 30% 1 yr. Hungarian 40% new American Oak (Kelvin), 30% new French oak
  • Bottled: November 29, 2008
  • Cellar for: 6+ years

100% Barbera. It'll remind you of the 04 and 06  vintages... ripe, big, fuzzy on the tongue but good clean acid makes it the best food wine-if all else fails and you don't know what to pair with your stew, roast, crock-pot wonder, pork chops, barbecue chicken, pizza, osso bucco or any strong flavored, tomato based dish, just take out your trusty Sunce Barbera and you'll be in culinary ecstasyCherry and raspberry fruit surrounded by a silky mouth-feel layered by hints of cardamom spice and vanilla. Only 14 Barrels made-344cases

2008 Bastoni Zinfandel: 

  • Hand Picked and Crushed: Oct 15, 2008
  • Brix at Harvest: 26

  • Aged: 13 months in 50% 2-year French oak, 50% new American Oak (Kelvin) oak
  • Bottled: November 12, 2009
Aged: 13 months in 50% 2-year French oak, 50% new American Oak (Kelvin) oak Bottled: November 12, 2009 Fountain Grove Area-Riebli Road Sonoma County The bastion of big Zins! This monolith of a Zin, our fourth from Bastoni is heavy-duty on the tarred raisin fruit, but the alcohol is well-cloaked and integrated with a plush-ness from its 13 months in French and American oak.
