About the wine
Delicate, velvety Pinot Noir from your legendary California winemaker
- David’s rich, satiny-smooth Pinot is an elegant Angel-favorite flush with soft, juicy cherry and strawberry flavors, all backed by a subtle touch of spice that makes every sip better than the last.
- A bottle with this much finesse should easily sell for double... but when you directly fund the world’s best winemakers like David, it's a whole 'nother story! With your support, David was able to start with high-end Pinot Noir fruit and give your wine the full treatment.
- Sourcing impeccable grapes from a single vineyard in the cool-climate Sacramento Delta, David called on his 30+ years of winemaking expertise to craft you a luscious classic decked out with a heavenly silky smoothness that you deserve to try as soon as possible.
Best before
This Pinot has the complexity and structure to age gracefully for the several years. But when it tastes so delicious right now, why wait?
Serving advice
This beautiful Pinot should be stunning straight out of the gate. No need to decant this vibrant red before enjoying it.
Food match
For a classic Pinot pairing, David suggest an a herb-crusted lamb shank, lightly grilled and served with seasonal roasted vegetables drizzled with a Sazerac/Peychauds bitters sauce.
Contains sulphites
