This elegant Pinot hails from a very famous winery and prized vineyards on the Sonoma Coast—and is a fraction of what it would cost under its normal label. It’s a $70 wine for as little as $29.99 a bottle when you preorder and lock in the price. That’s up to 40% off.

How is that possible? Kristina, our expert on the ground in California, scours Napa, Sonoma and countless other regions for rare deals on premium wines to bring directly to you. She discovered this Pinot Noir through our old friend, Bill Knuttel, who began his winemaking career at this lauded winery—and the rest is history. More than that, we cannot say, because…

We signed an NDA. If you’re fluent in lawyer-speak, you’ll know an NDA is a Non-Disclosure Agreement. In a wine context, this means the final seller of the wine may not share any information about the winery that made it—and often very little about the wine itself, like the vineyard(s) or winery name.

Pinot Noir fans know that Sonoma Coast is one of the elite regions for mind-bendingly good Pinot. The cold winds from the Pacific and trademark fog keep the vines cooler than in inland Sonoma County vineyards, sometimes by up to 30° Fahrenheit.

The best wines have an energy and lift that balance the ripe fruit for which California Pinot is loved. Wine Spectator writes, “Sonoma County’s marquee Pinot Noir region shines in the 2023 vintage, with outstanding-rated reds.”

We can tell you that this 2023 release comes from a blend of five famed Sonoma Coast vineyards (including Roberts Road, Pratt and Van der Camp). The wine was aged for 18 months in fine French oak. It’s juicy and buoyant on the palate with notes of raspberry, black fruit, bramble, cherry cordial, violet and cocoa nibs.

See details below and hurry—this will sell out quickly.
