GLORIAVINA
Given our backgroud in Old World wines, we don't limit sales in our Los Olivos shop to Santa Barbara County. GloriaVina is a celebration of the world's best wines, with bespoke offers sent out bi-weekly, with wines priced better than any other retailer west of the Mississippi (and sometimes the whole country).
"Vajra always represents solid value in Piemonte, and [the Rosabella Rosato] is certainly no different." -Vinous
"Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated, the saturated blackish red-hued 2021 La Joie is classic on the nose with brilliant aromas of graphite, pine needles, delicate menthol, blackcurrants, and violets, becoming even more floral with time in the glass. It’s resonant and explosive on the palate, with a laser-like focus throughout, full body, refreshing acidity, and ripe, youthful tannins that will need time to soften. This is a great, profound wine that is going to last for ages. It has all the components I look for in great wine and is as good as it gets, in my opinion. It’s going to last for decades. 2500 cases were produced. (Drink between 2025-2055)" -Jeb Dunnuck, 100JD
"Good Superiore. Polished and contemporary, without quite hitting the sour, red fruited notes of the better traditionalists. Shows dark fruit and reductive hints of violets and camphor, with well-managed grape tannins and oak. Quite drinkable. Drink or hold." -James Suckling, 90JS
