ENCINO, Calif., Feb. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Gelson’s wines have always earned high praise from customers and critics alike including notable recognition from Wine Enthusiast for their private brand wine. The launch of their new “Winemaker Series” is expected to be no different. The first winemaker in this series is renowned “First Lady of Wine” Heidi Barrett. Barrett is highly regarded for the exceptional finesse and quality of wine she has crafted over the years. She played a pivotal role in the creation of Screaming Eagle wine from 1992, which earned two 100-point scores from prominent wine critics. For Gelson’s, she has created a rich, ripe delicious Red Blend that is a carefully balanced combination of Syrah, Petit Sirah, and Cabernet Franc and yields distinctive aromatics as well as dense berry and plum flavors.
“When Gelson’s approached me to collaborate with them for their new Winemaker Series I did not hesitate. Our shared high standards of excellence and commitment to delivering only the best quality products are perfectly aligned,” said Barrett. “We have created a beautiful wine for elegant and enjoyable drinking.”
“We are truly proud of this collaboration with Heidi Barrett reflecting the attention to detail and quality that Gelson’s prides itself on,” said President and CEO John Bagan. “Working with Heidi is just the beginning. We look forward to expanding the series with other renowned winemakers.”
The select wine will be available in all stores or online on shop.gelsons.com on February 7.
