A luscious, velvety, elegant Pinot that only the Russian River can provide.
2021 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
✨ Taste: Rich, sexy, and paradigm-shifting. The kind of bottle that makes you rethink everything you thought you knew about wine pricing.
🍝 Drink it with:
✔️ Pasta & pizza – because carbs and Pinot were meant to be.
✔️ Dark meat chicken & lean red meat – because balance is key.
❄️ How to Serve: Stick it in the fridge 30 minutes before serving for that perfect temp.
🛑 After Opening: Pop the cork back in and store in the fridge for up to 5 days (if you have that much self-control).

This was a once-in-a-decade opportunity to buy a wine that retails for $100 under its original label for half the price. It's spectacular.

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.

This wine was made by one who must not be named, who worked at amazing places like we can't tell you & I'm sorry
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.
