Winery of the Year – Andremily’s MULTIPLE 100 POINT WINES are NOW in stock!!!

Jim Binns established his Andremily label in 2012, the name being an amalgamation of his children's names: Andrew and Emily. As a former member of the winemaking team at Sine Qua Non, Jim's Andremily reds are similarly rich, concentrated Rhône Ranger blends, yet his style is crafting wines of remarkable restraint. There is more than a nod to the Southern Rhône in how the fruit is expressed here, often delivering beautifully pure, soft-spoken, savory, and earthy fragrances.

Year after year Jim has received great accolades from the major publications, various 99-100 point rated wines. Golden Gate Wine Cellars has been privileged to sell Jim’s wines for many years now, and many of you have really become to like them, appreciate them and “want” them.

Andremily 2021 Syrah No 10, Santa Barbara 100 Points
Retail $169.99 – GGWC $159.99

Jeb Dunnuck 100 Points: “Lastly, the Syrah-dominated 2021 No 10 reveals a dense purple hue as well as a wild bouquet of blueberries, wild strawberries, ground pepper, game, iron, and assorted floral, meaty nuances. Stunningly complex even at this young age, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a pure, layered, seamless mouthfeel, ample tannins and underlying structure, and a finish that won’t quit. It will clearly be a match for the 2020, and this puppy is going to flirt with perfection at maturity.”

Andremily 2021 Mourvedre, Santa Barbara 100 Points
Retail $169.99 – GGWC $159.99

Robert Parker 100 Points: “The 2021 Mourvèdre is another archetypal example of the variety from Andremily, where winemaker Jim Binns manages to polish what can be a naturally rustic variety into a shining, sapphire-like expression. Bottled on August 26 and tasted on October 25, it shows the elegance and juiciness that is characteristic of a cooler growing season. It’s explosive and electrically blue on the nose, with incredibly pure aromas of blueberry candy, violet, and juniper and accents of coffee beans, warm chocolate, aniseed and grilled Wagyu beef—it continually unfurls to reveal new scents with each return to the glass. The palate is just as impressive with its balance of concentrated, fragrant fruit, fireworks of fresh acidity, and finely chalky tannins, and it has a tremendously long, perfumed finish. The 2021 is blended with 12% Syrah, and fruit comes from Andremily’s new Slide Hill estate vineyard, plus the Alta Mesa Vineyard and White Hawk Vineyard in Santa Barbara County. It was vinified using 75% whole clusters and matured around 21 months in 50% new French barriques and 600-liter demi-muids. ”
