Eight Years in the Desert is a box set of eight wines, each with a different, hand-crafted, mixed media label.  They’re set in a custom wine box along with a book containing poetry and short stories inspiring the wines.

New Review from Jeb Dunnuck

Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley 2015 750ML ($219.95) $179 special
Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley 2015 1.5L (licorice, unsmoked tobacco, and hints of chocolate and emerge from this beauty and it continues to gain depth and nuance with time in the glass. Full-bodied, deep, and layered with an incredible purity and elegance on the palate, it’s already accessible but has more than enough tannin, depth, and balance to evolve for two decades or more.”

The Brilliant 2011 Ciacci Piccolomini Brunello

Ciacci Piccolomini is a top tier Brunello producer—there’s no doubt about that.  They produce wines that are sought after by serious connoisseurs—they have power, grace and ageability (in short, all the things you would look for in good Brunello).  That’s without regard to price, as well—even if the cost of the bottles doubled overnight, there would still be significant demand for the wines.
