Lot 2: 2011 Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, Sonoma, 6-bottle pack

$270.00 $102.00

Lot 2

Sometimes we find a very posh winery with a surplus of a particularly fine, expensive wine like Lot 1.  Sometimes we find a wine where a newer winery is quickly acquiring a rock-star reputation, though for now a brilliant winemaker and fabulous wine is still relatively unknown and a stunning deal. Like Lot 2, which normally sells for $44 to over $50 per bottle. We successfully begged and groveled for a few surplus barrels and can offer it to you for $17!

Some of the world’s very best Pinot come from this town, Sebastopol, where wineries like Kosta Browne sell out to their now closed list of members and are unavailable to anyone else. From literally everything we’ve heard, seen and tasted this winemaker and winery are sure to follow in those footsteps and the prices will soon climb to exorbitant levels.

Meanwhile, we’re extremely happy to help move this under our own label and offer you absolutely delicious Pinot at an utterly lunatic price.

See below for just a little more information on this winemaker and wine.

Only available in 6 bottle packs and only one pack per person.

This wine has a seductive color, clear garnet with coppery hints. It’s fresh and vibrant, silky smooth in the mouth, ripe with bright red cherry, rose hips, spice and a lovely fruit-kissed lingering finish. A perfect example of how delicious Russian River Valley Pinot can be.

The four highly sought after clones (Pommard, Swan, Calera, 828) are known to deliver low quantity and high quality fruit, while the vineyard has the ideal soils, elevation and location to grow great Pinot. This quality is nurtured by a rising star winemaker who’s now starting to get  the inevitable press, awards and intense admiration.

“In Loving Memory of Ivor” on the label pays tribute to Ivor Page, David Page aka Mr Heist’s father, who passed away too late to taste this but whose fierce love of wine and a good deal lives on here.
