Richard Bruno Monterey Pinot Noir 2014
About the wine
"This is the best Pinot Noir for the price I have ever had the honor of making."
- Intensely fragrant single-vineyard Pinot Noir with an earth mocha kick... Richard credits all the delicious black cherry flavors to the grapes' origin on the west side of Greenfield (which is a Monterey hot spot for great Pinot).
- This wine is made from the same grapes used in Pinot Noir worth over $30 per bottle, but is available at a fraction of the price for the Angels who helped bring this project to life.
- Richard's debut wine is an exceptional value even by Naked standards and we expect it to be THE holiday Pinot.
Best before
This wine will age well for 7-12 years, but will drink well at release as well.
Serving advice
Open and pour. If you age it for 10+ years you should decant/aerate.
Food match
I love this wine with crispy duck breast or duck confit.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Richard Bruno
Years Angel-funded: 2013-2023
- Richard Bruno is exactly what we love in a winemaker– the quiet achiever behind the scenes at some of the world's most famous wine brands. He's made wine for Francis Ford Coppola and Don Sebastiani, the latter of which was named Winery of the Year TWICE under his watch.
- During his decades making wine for famous wineries and earning them 90+ scores, he has traveled all up and down California's coastal wine regions. His experience and familiarity with the terrain allow him to sniff out the best-bang-for-buck pretty much anywhere in the state.
- Launching one's wine brand is hard and expensive, so Richard is using Angel funding – and he's able to focus on winemaking, instead of selling wine.
