Product Video

This wine was made by one who must not be named.

This wine is guaranteed to get a double take from the wine guy at your table.

Our Pinot is an NDA wine, meaning we’re not allowed to disclose who made it because it’s a famous winemaker that just made a little bit too much wine.

It comes from a “new” part of the Russian River (which is in Sonoma, CA) that is being labeled unofficially as the Santa Rosa Flats and is known for having really good wineries. The guy who sold it to us said the winemaker charges $100 for it under his label.

Legend has it that the winemaker is such a perfectionist that he gets rid of any grape juice that might have come out during transportation to be 100% sure that he controlled every drop of juice that went into his wine. 

Tasting notes are red cherry & black cherry, and the addition of oak makes it deliciously well-rounded and classical in a very elevated way. It is a very elegant wine and we’ll never be able to buy more than what we have now because we got what we got and that's it.

Perfect Occasions
  • dinner with family members who voted for the wrong person
  • hate-scrolling on your phone looking at your friends' trip to Aspen on social media
  • discussing whether carnivore is a health diet
  • holding your glass between your middle and ring fingers and swirling the wine like a villain
  • writing a love letter
  • a steak dinner
  • impressing your boss
  • bold wine lovers
  • celebrating
  • gifting
  • Taking to Sunday lunch at your in-laws because you'll need it
  • when you get your boss on Secret Santa
  • intimidating the sommelier, for once
  • one-upping your boss
  • a date
  • impressing your investors, even if your returns don't
Why this is perfect

This is an opulent and generous wine; essentially comfort food in a bottle, if the food were prepared by a Michelin-starred chef.

We like it for big, special occasions because it smells and tastes expensive: the oak treatment on this alone probably costs $10 a bottle. It's an obviously impressive wine. And we like it for solo, reflective moments in the same way that treating yourself to a spa day feels restorative.

    Got this as a gift from my realtor and really liked it. Deep flavor, not too dry, just easy to drink. Tastes like something special
