This morning I woke up to one of those secret deals so here I sit at lunch – sweating gravy – and offering one of the best Pinot Noirs for the price – for 24 Hours Only. You’ve probably heard my rant about how David Bynum is uniquely positioned to provide better QPR than just about anybody in the game. We were lucky enough to offer his David Ramey-made Chardonnay back in October and many of you took advantage.
Today’s offer is even sweeter. The 2017 Russian River Pinot at the outrageous price of just $21.15 per bottle when you add it into a case is an absolute steal and the perfect accompaniment for next week’s Turkey dinner.
This Pinot was crafted like it came from a master painter. Petaluma Gap for the richness. The darkness and silky tannin provided by the warmer Santa Rosa plains fruit. And then the cherry on top is the rich, deep spice element – provided by a very special lot from the Middle Reach Neighborhood on West Side Road.
The result is spicy and generous Pinot that drinks well above its station due to the quality of the single parcels that were so expertly chosen. 92 points and a Best Buy designate from W&S Magazine. With today’s pricing – it’s just out of this world. 24 Hours Only! And don’t forget to use the holiday promo code: Gobble20 for $20 off all orders of $100 or more.

Greg Morthole sourced fruit for this 2017 from vineyards in the Santa Rosa plain, the Middle Reach of the Russian River and Green Valley. Some of the fruit also came from an estate vineyard in the Petaluma Gap. Those varied sites provided enough generous fruit flavor to balance the wine’s brighter notes of sassafras and earthy notes of roots. It’s a clean, fragrant and spicy pinot noir to pour with grilled pork.

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
