But I guess that's what having a vineyard in your family for 40+ years enables you to do - deliver great wine at a reasonable price. The vineyard is a fantastic property just stones throw from the San Pablo bay in Napa Carneros and I have always been impressed with ownership's winemaking across their various programs in Napa as well as Lake County. Always great wine at a great price relative to their competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, however, your buying this great, single-vineyard designated bottling blend not for $480\/case but\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003efor\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ethe rather fantastic price tag of $15\/bottle\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI've not been able to find a lot of critics scores on the producers bottlings save for a 93 for the 2020 from the Wine Enthusiast and another 91 for the 2022 from the Wine Spectator.\u003cstrong\u003e But, trust me on this one folks, if you are looking for an expressive, vibrant, racy, and lively style of Pinot Noir, it is indeed time to back up the truck!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLot 8 is a fresh, spicy, perfectly ripe and sumptuous Pinot Noir.
