$45.00

Bright ruby red in color. Intense note of red fruits (raspberry, cherry) and hints of spice, autumn leaves and licorice. Full bodied with a generous taste, round tannins and fine terroir aromas. The finish is long and harmonious.
2015 Jean Pascal Burgundy (Pinot Noir) - Puligny Montrachet, Cote d'Or, France
$78.00
$58.50
This rarity (most wines from Puligny are white) displays a pretty bouquet of red berries, plums and raw cocoa. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with tangy acids, a ripe core of fruit and satiny structuring tannins. The Pascal family explain that this site is characterized by well-drained red soils and typically retains elevated acids even at advanced degrees of maturity.
2017 Middle Earth Pinot Noir Nelson, New Zealand
$26.00
$19.50
Red summer fruits, cherries, and sweet spice combine with softly smoky oak in this succulent, approachable wine. Gentle oak tannins and the tasty fruit flavors result in a smooth mouth-filling wine with good length and a softly warming spicy finish.
2016 Ampelos Pinot Noir "Biodynamic" -SRH, Santa Barbara, CA
$45.00
$33.75
Biodynamic "Natural" style Pinot Noir with a healthy amount of bottle age. This is as savory a style of domestic Pinot Noir as we've seen. Dark cherry, rich cola and butterscotch with well-worn leather and spice, a glimpse of earthy musk, forrest floor and more cherries cap off the nose very “Burgundian”.
2016 Joseph Jewell Pinot Noir Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, CA
$40.00
$30.00
Luscious and inviting, with aromas of bing cherry, cola, and orange blossom, this deep ruby wine delights with flavors of bing cherry and plum. Soft tannins support a lush mouthfeel that will keep you coming back for more.
Winemaker Notes: The Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is always a fan favorite. When you look at the three single-vineyard Pinot Noirs we produce, they all bring something different to the table. The Bucher brings lush fruits and lots of earthy notes. The Starscape Vineyard brings the very easy drinking qualities of red fruits and soft tannins. Hallberg brings structure to the wine as well as darker fruits and Asian spices. When we create a barrel selection from these vineyards the result is a complete wine with several layers and flavor profiles. This is our best representation of the Russian River Valley.

2015 St. Innocent Pinot Noir "Zenith Vineyard"
$52.00
$39.00
It's firm, dark and toasty, with full-flavored black-cherry fruit accented with dense veins of espresso, charred nuts and bitter chocolate. The structure supports those dark notes, and the chewy tannins and lengthy finish amplify them. Drink now through 2028. - PAUL GREGUTT
2012 Carte Blanche Pinot Noir "Nobles Ranch Vineyard" Sonoma Coast, CA
$52.00
$39.00
The 2012 Pinot Noir is full of promise, needing ample time to open, it reveals bright freshly macerated cherries, carnation, and dried provencal herbs. Savory notes step forward in the generous mid-palate offering notes of dried sage, lilac, and faint cardamom. Baking spices, Swedish fish, and sour cherry sit on the silky and lengthy finish.

From the same source, the 2012 Pinot Noir (500 cases produced) is much lighter and slightly fluid compared to the more concentrated 2011. Consume it over the next several years.

$35.00
$26.25
From the Winery:
Our 2018 Vin Pétillant is a unique sparkling rosé made from 52% Pinot Noir and 48% Chardonnay. A delicious aperitif or brunch bubbly, and a great match for smoked salmon, oysters or fresh cheeses. Fine bubbles intertwine flavors of ripe pear and red apple with strawberries and cream. The nose is delicate and floral, with notes of cherry blossom, rose petal and orange zest. The wine is rich on the palate with a mouthwatering freshness and vivaciously creamy bubble equal to many fully sparkling wines.
2015 Llopart Cava Reserva Rose (Monastrell/Garnacha/Pinot Noir) Organic and Estate, Penedes, Catalyuna, Spain
$32.00
$24.00
90 pts Wine Enthusiast
Light strawberry and raspberry aromas are a touch jammy and sweet smelling. This Monastrell-based rosé is slightly aggressive but not coarse on the palate. Peachy, melony flavors are more generic than specific, while this finishes clean and easy.
