October Wine Special
October welcomes Autumn, Halloween and Day of the Dead. Here's a shrine to our October wine; we give you something to live for with this tasty special.
Wine Enthusiast gave it 93 points. Wine Enthusiast Editor Matt Kettmann noted, "Gamy aromas of leather and raw meat mesh into deep cherry and raspberry on the nose of this bottling. Dried and raw meat flavors pop on the sip, where intense black-plum fruit is lifted by white-pepper spice."
2016 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard
$48.75/bottle or $546/case
Enjoy the layered aromatics of this sultry wine, including Black Velvet rose, mulberry, dried sage and worn tanned leather. Cranberry, Santa Rosa plum, briar patch with juicy acidity and a long finish, will tantalize you on the palate.
We offer $25 flat fee shipping for up to a case. We also comp one tasting for each three bottles of wine purchased in the tasting room.
