BOTTLED 8/26/25  

SHIPPING IS INCLUDED ON 12-BOTTLE CASES

AUTOMATIC FREE SUMMER STORAGE UNTIL THE FALL

Age-worthy, complex and archetypal, Lot 31 Sonoma Coast Pinot comes to us from a legendary producer who had "a little bit left over from our recent bottling". They were eager to get it out before harvest so I was able to negotiate a very good price for you.

Normally $60 per bottle at the winery (I see it $45-$60 in the trade), this perfectly ripe Pinot Noir from the dynamite, as perfect-as-it-gets 2023 vintage can be had for the incredible price of just $119/case DELIVERED!

With fruit sourced from a mix of estate- and family-owned Sonoma Coast vineyards, this producer is as responsible as anybody for putting California Pinot Noir on the map. Again, we have a no-expense-spared, first-run production aged in ~25-30% new French oak. It is an absolute steal at this price!

Indeed, ladies and gents, it's time to back up the truck!

Beautiful bouquet of bright Bing cherry, cranberry with lovely earl gray and forest floor accents showcasing the cool beauty and precision of the 2023 harvest. Saline and earthy umami notes increase with air. Even with just a few weeks in the bottle, the palate architecture is seamless and nicely integrated with exceptional fruit purity. Pretty cherry and juicy raspberry glide effortlessly over the palate with freshness, energy, and perfect balance leading to a long, sustained finish that resonates with pretty red fruits, earl grey tea and earthy umami notes in perfect chorus. I have to say this wine has fantastic length and purity. Equal parts complex and delicious!

Trust me on this one...
