About the wine
Plush, barrel-aged Reserve Pinot Noir from a Sonoma veteran - Angels save $40!
- This rich, elegant Pinot Noir is packed with generous layers of refined red and dark fruit flavors that glide together with a velvety, mouth-filling texture into a long, lavish finish.
- With the help of Angel funding, Daryl harvested a majority of his grapes from a trio of premier Russian River Valley vineyards and treated the wine to a regimen of aging in French oak barrels for a lush richness and decadent depth of flavor.
- For now, this stunning Pinot is a limited-edition release, Daryl says. Consider this your one shot to make the most of the whopping $40 Angel-exclusive savings you get for making it possible!
Best before
I love this wine now for its youthfulness and early drinkability, but I feel it will easily age well for 10 years or more.
Serving advice
Serve slightly chilled if you're enjoying it outdoors in the summer.
Food match
This Pinot goes great with white meat or lean red meat. My personal favorites are pork-based dishes.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Daryl Groom
- Meet Daryl... a 35-year veteran of the wine biz, credited eight-times as Winemaker of the Year, named by Food & Wine Magazine as one of 11 visionaries to change the world of wine... and oh yes, he served up his wines at the Oscars and Emmys two years in a row! Safe to say, the man's accomplished.
- Working as the senior white and red winemaker at Penfolds, his 1986 Penfolds Grange was arguably one of the top 3 Granges ever made - 98 points from Spectator and Robert Parker. And now that he works for you, he loves showing off wines from Australia and his California home – Sonoma and Russian River Valley.
- Thanks to your funding, Daryl can focus on doing what he loves – making great wine and sharing great wine. And he selects the best barrels he needs and farms to the best quality. "You are a gift from God to a winemaker," he says. "I knew there were Angels in heaven!"
