Gaja

Elegant structure and ripe, well-integrated tannins. This wine is normally more austere in youth than Rennina due to the slightly firmer tannic structure.

90 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '06 Ca' Marcanda Promis is dark in color, very focused and precise on the nose; full bodied; silky tannins; fruity, bright finish; lively and delicious. Best Promis ever.

95 PTS WILFRED WONG. A powerful, deeply structured wine in its youth, the '85 Gaja Barbaresco Sori San Lorenzo has matured into a superbly enjoyable wine; serve for grand occasions and enjoy!

93 PTS WINE ADVOCATE. Darkly concentrated with thick tones of black tar, espresso, candied cherry, rum cake and bitter chocolate.

94 PTS WINE ADVOCATE. The 10 Gaja Barbaresco is full-on Gajissimo personality with irresistible opulence and intensity, the wine delivers seductively rich concentration and flavors and a long finish.

Extremely rare; Angelo Gaja is know through out the world as one of the finest producers of Piedmonte wines. Now he is exploring with Tuscany. Big intense style with lush richness through the finish.

95 PTS ROBERT PARKER, JR. Chocolate, coffee, smoke, licorice, and tobacco characteristics are found in the complex, deep purple-colored '98 Sori Tilden; fabulous fruit concentration; layered opulence.

99 PTS ROBERT PARKER, JR. A virtually perfect effort is the '97 Gaja Langhe Sperss; essence of truffles, earth, and black cherries in its striking aroomatics and multidimensional, opulent palate.

99 PTS ROBERT PARKER, JR. Another virtually perfect effort is the '97 Sperss, which represents the essence of truffles, earth, and black cherries; multidimensional, opulent, full-bodied palate.

A serious effort, the aristocratic '99 Gaja Promis from Tuscany stands up well to many of California's finest cabernets as well as France's best Bordeaux; try this Tuscan treat with leg of lamb.

91 PTS STEPHEN TANZER. The '98 Gaja Barbaresco has deeply pitched aromas of plum, mocha, licorice and dried flowers; dense and chewy with extract; compelling, sweet flavors of currant and licorice.

A very ripe style chardonnay from Gaja. The 1999 Rossj Bass shows flavors of pineapple, cream, and coconut. Full bodied with a long lingering finish. Limited only 3000 cases were produced.

96+ PTS STEPHEN TANZER. The '96 Gaja Sperss is brooding (with) profound aromas of black cherry, black raspberry and smoked meat; boasts remarkably intense flavors; a magnificent Barolo of great class.

91+ PTS STEPHEN TANZER. The '97 Gaja Barbaresco (offers) superripe aromas of black raspberry, coffee, mint and oak, plus an exotic note of torrefaction; finishes long and juicy with building tannins.

97 PTS WILFRED WONG. An incedibly complex wine with fine power and fruit; long in all respects, this is a wine made for strong cheeses and full flavored meat dishes.

97 PTS, WILFRED WONG. "A monumental wine of incredible substance; ripe, big, and full bodied; this incredible '85 is beginning to soften slightly." (96 PTS, WINE SPECTATOR)
