2021 Baba Sangiovese Blend
My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it. - Mark Twain
Thanks for everything Mom! What a tough job you have. We think maybe this will help a bit...
Since you're such a hard worker, enjoy employee pricing on 2021 Baba and Gaga to celebrate Mother's Day! Yep, half off the regular price until Mother's Day!
These wines have been made to celebrate our Moms since we named them as our kids called these precious ladies, Baba and Gaga. These two beauties are among our most limited production wines, mostly due to the fact that there is not much Touriga Nacional or Sangiovese planted in Washington State. They haven't been scored yet, but both received 92 points from Vinous for the 2019 vintages. These might even be better...
This offer is good through Mother's Day, but order now to get yours in time for the gift your Mom truly wants! And maybe needs...

Baba, which is what our girls called her, is a tribute to Kelly’s Mom, Sarah. In 2021 we crafted a classic Sangiovese driven blend, touched with a bit of Cabernet Sauvignon. Dick and Luanne Boushey’s vineyard in Grandview is the primary source for this red fruited, sandalwooded, black tea scented, earthy glory. Delicious right now, it is destined for a gentle evolution that will reveal inner secrets and universal truths at the same time.
Food pairing: Sarah’s eggplant parmesan or Sarah’s eggplant parmesan

FOUNDERS’ NOTES:
Our first extry Tuscan was produced in 2015 as a wine club exclusive. The Brunello clone of Sangiovese was sourced from Boushey Vineyard in the Yakima Valley. Once the fermentation was dry we loaded the press, turned La Traviata up to eleven, busted up some lasagne and Brunello di Montalcino and let Elvis the Press do the rest. Lovely red fruit and flowers flowers flowers.
