2019 Colorado Muscat | (Bookcliff Vineyard)
- $30.00
- With delightful notes of orange zest, ginger and peach, this Muscat has terrific balance! Some time on the skins lends this wine structure, while beautiful fruit emanates from the glass. This is a delicious and fruity white that is refreshing and easy drinking.
2018 Colorado Riesling (Horse Mountain Vineyard)
- $26.00
- Ripe lychee fruit aromas lead you into the sweet, yet refreshing palate while the finish lingers with a citrus lemon note that is utterly delightful.
2018 Colorado Chardonnay | (Talbott Vineyard)
- $32.00
- This gorgeous Chard strikes a balance between the unique “orange” wine style we are known for, and the more traditional trappings of a new world Chardonnay. Full bodied with a touch of tannin, it’s an enticing wine full of baked apple, honey and orchard fruit flavors.
2019 Colorado Viognier | Bookcliff Vineyard
- $30.00
- Pure, and powerful this Viognier is everything great about "orange wine". It has terrific body with deeply layered notes of pear and apricot. Floral aromatics add an elegance to this otherwise full bodied, rich white wine. This is a classic Balistreri white wine.
Harvest Party Red
- $20.00
- A new Harvest Party red to honor our annual celebration in October! This release is an easy drinking, smooth and full bodied wine that is both delicious and affordable. This is a special release so add it to your collection while supplies last!
2018 Colorado Sangiovese
- $36.00
- This 2018 is surely one of our favorite vintages of Sangiovese in recent memory. Serious structure with dark cherry fruit and plenty of complexity. This is not to be missed... We only made a few barrels! Keep an eye out for a more in depth write up, coming soon.
2019 American Sangiovese
- $34.00
- Aug 2020 Wine of the Month! Right from the start, this wine explodes from the glass with bright and bouncy aromas of cherry and candied fruit. On the palate there is incredible body and intensity, yet it somehow remains balanced and smooth.
2018 Colorado Zinfandel | (Black Vineyard)
- $32.00
- The new vintage of Black Zinfandel is a great example of the elegant side of the varietal. There's plenty of fruit, but it maintains a vibrant, exuberant freshness that's often absent in large production examples. Further, it has a subtle tangy spice character that makes it an interesting choice for food pairing. Don't worry though, it tastes great on its own too! This might be the most approachable, easy drinking Zin we've produced so far.
2018 American Grenache
- $36.00
- While some Grenache can be quite rugged, this vintage embraces the more elegant side of the varietal. Light bodied, yet complex, this has expressive and refined notes of dark cherry, baking spice and rose petal. On the palate, the wine is graceful with gentle tannins and beautifully integrated acidity.
2017 American GSM Blend
- $32.00
- A rustic blend of 37% Grenache, 24% Syrah, 39% Mourvedre that balances both "New" and "Old" World flavors. On the nose there's an interesting contrast between notes of leather, cinnamon and fresh strawberry. It's certainly a bold wine but the tannins are gentle and balanced.
2018 American Carignan
- $38.00
- This forgotten grape is sourced from old vines in the historic Amador County of California. The older vines naturally create amazing concentration and purity of fruit. Even with ample ripeness, it’s still balanced, nuanced and extremely easy to drink.
2017 Colorado Tempranillo | (Talbott Vineyard)
- $34.00
- The vintage showcases everything we love about Tempranillo grapes. Full on flavor yet pure, this wine remains easy drinking and fresh. Aromatically, it leaps from the glass with notes of black cherry and ripe plum. There's a subtle minerality on the finish, which is an interesting contrast to the fruit character.
2019 Colorado Syrah | (Horse Mountain Vineyard)
- $34.00
- Horse Mountain Syrah has been one of our favorite and most acclaimed wines since the early days of the Balistreri. Now with a new label and affordable price, we are extremely excited to release this new vintage! 2019 has terrific balance, a full body, and plenty of peppery nuance. This is delicious, naturally made syrah where the vineyard speaks for itself!
2019 Colorado Little Feet Merlot (Talbott | Festival Italiano)
- $26.00
- Stomped by kids at Festival Italiano in the fall of 2019! Another exceptional year. This Merlot is rich and luscious with deep garnet hues and fresh berry aromas. Flavors of black cherry and currants linger on the smooth soft finish.
- Select options
2018 Colorado Merlot | (Black Bear Orchard)
- $30.00
- Overall, this Merlot is exceptionally balanced and layered with plenty of great depth and structure. Slightly less juicy than our other Merlots, the BBO has more dried fruit character. Dried cherry, plum and a subtle spice all make this an amazing wine for grilled foods. With the right dish, this wine comes alive and is truly something to experience. We can't wait to see how it develops in the coming years.
2018 Brother’s Cabernet Sauvignon
- $36.00
- Brother's is back! An exceptional vintage of Brother's Cab! This delicious Lodi grown Cabernet is full of classic flavors of red currant, plum and blackberry flavors. It also has plenty of spice with green peppercorn/ tomato leaf aromas. On the palate, it's reserved yet balanced with a terrific acidity and tannin.
2013 Colorado Cabernet Franc | (Avant Vineyard)
- $34.00
- Perfectly cellared, this Franc decants into a beautiful brick/burgundy color. The nose is expressive of exotic aromatics - sweet tobacco, herbs, green pepper. The palate is structured, but smooth with age. Notes of raspberry and cassis fill out the fruit character.
2019 Colorado Cabernet Franc | (Beach House Vineyard)
- $26.00
- This is a classic Balistreri Cab Franc with a soft, inviting texture, earthy overtones, and a full body. It's not as fruit forward as a Cabernet Sauvignon, but it has more than enough complexity to make this a smart dinner wine. Beach House Vineyard is a small planting of Franc in Palisade that delivers classic aromas and texture. Don't miss this one!
2019 Colorado Cabernet Sauvignon | (Whitewater Hill)
- $36.00
- Whitewater Hill is one of the most singular and distinct vineyards for Cabernet in all of Colorado, and our latest rendition is one of the best in recent memory. Pure bramble fruit and focused acidity make this Cabernet an elegant but powerful wine that is stunning today, but will only further reward in the cellar.
2018 Colorado Petit Verdot (CVS Vineyard)
- $48.00
- Dark and sumptuous, this Petit Verdot has beautiful concentration and length. Violets, black cherry and subtle spice round out the aromas with a terrific finish.
Colorado Cherry
- $14.00
- Barrel aging adds character to this delicious cherry wine. Almond, spice & strawberry aromas are followed by sweet hazelnut and cherry flavors, reminiscent of fresh Summer cherry pie.
- Select options
2019 Colorado Late Harvest Zinfandel
- $20.00
- A new Colorado Late Harvest Zin! This sweet and tangy red is delicious with ripe dark fruit notes and a peppery finish. It's a great after dinner wine or can even be drank with BBQ or Grilled food!
Balistreri Port
- $28.00
- Unless you are willing to travel to the Douro Valley itself, you will not find a more authentic Port than this! We source traditional Portuguese varietals (Tinto Roriz, Touriga Nacional, Tinto Souzao, Tinto Cao) to create this delicious, sweet “Ruby style” port. This vintage has a beautiful focus and energy, which brings a liveliness to the sweet, rich dark fruit flavors. Not to be missed!
