WINE DESCRIPTION
Established in 2013 by Dan O'Brien, GAIL pays homage to his late mother, blending passion and memory into each bottle. A former sommelier hailing from Rhode Island, Dan's journey through the hospitality industry led him from Providence to Boston, eventually managing winery estates in Napa and Sonoma. With the unwavering support of his wife Alison and their vineyard companion Alma, Dan crafts wines reflective of his mother's spirit. Grown and produced entirely in Sonoma Valley, these wines epitomize a life defined by hard work, travel, and a shared love for gastronomy. Inspired by Sonoma's unpretentious charm, GAIL celebrates the community that makes it home.

The palate is well-structured, with firm tannins and a good balance of acidity. Flavors of ripe dark fruits, such as black cherry and blackcurrant, dominate, along with notes of chocolate and spice.
