Do I have your attention yet?

Good. 'Cuz here we go...

Lot 72 2024 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is a purpose-built bottling blend featuring fruit sourced from three of Sonoma Counties best Pinot Noir vineyards, every single one of which is revered amongst Pinot lovers and almost always featured as a single-vineyard designate...the vineyard blend is 42% Russian River Valley, 18% Green Valley of the Russian River Valley, and 40% Petaluma Gap Pinot Noir from Gap's Crown Vineyard. The last vineyard is large enough, with enough wineries sourcing from it, for me to name, whilst the others would be hitting too close to home, but I assure you the vineyard sourcing is TREMENDOUS. Gap's Crown commands prices easily in excess of $70/bottle and the Russian River sources are very well-known and priced even higher.

Aged for 14-months in 35% new, beautifully integrated French oak of the highest quality cooperage, this is a succulent, ripe and juicy Pinot Noir with terrific nuance and complexity in an open-knit style befitting the sexy, beguiling 2024 vintage. Make no mistake, this is not a big, blowsy, over-extracted mess of a Pinot Noir...this is juicy, mouthwatering and delicious, but it is also finely attenuated and precision-built wine with complex, soaring aromatics and beautiful purity and harmony throughout.

Beautiful pale ruby in the glass with a vibrant purple shimmer. The bouquet is ripe and expressive, redolent with black cherry, rhubarb and forest floor with chocolate umami complexed with a hint of pepper and nicely integrated seasoned oak notes of leather and lightly toasted caramel. Plush, succulent and bold on the palate with an accessible structure that unfurls lovely, juicy raspberry and cherry notes beautifully framed with sandalwood and umami. The finish is pure magic carpet ride with fantastic purity and seamless, beautifully balanced complexity. 

Let me just say this just one more time, THIS IS A TREMENDOUS OFFER AND INCREDIBLE VALUE! Just $10+/bottle DELIVERED! 

Giddyup!
