2012 WHOA Farm Pinot Noir, Crane Vineyard $330 6pack
SONOMA COAST only 615 cases produced
"Ruby red in color, with great aromatics of red cherry, beet root, and anise with subtle oak tones. The wine has a great attack, and is quite suave on the palate. A Pinot Noir from the zone that shows the perfumed, elegant side of the varietal. Very fine tannins that are subtle yet provide a silky grip. Elements of pomegranate, orange peel and red berries are all framed nicely with fresh acids. This is textbook medium bodied Pinot that shows the intense side of Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. Very stylish and delicious."
– Paul Roberts, Master Sommelier
This organically farmed wine is a key component to achieve financial sustainability for the Work Horse Organic Agriculture (WHOA) Farm,  a non-profit that produces over 50,000 pounds of organically grown food annually.

2011 Matthews Estate Reserve $420 6pack
Columbia Valley, Washington State
94 Points Wine Advocate

“Even more impressive, with smoking raspberry, blackberry, spring flowers, toast and hints of licorice, the 2011 Reserve is medium to full-bodied, beautifully concentrated (especially in the vintage), layered and elegant, with fabulous purity and freshness. It too has ultra-fine tannin and impressive length on the finish. Made from 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 6% Malbec and 6% Cabernet Franc that spent 19 months in 100% new French oak, it will shine through 2025.”

Pinot Noir for Valentines Day!

RWMheader2015-12

Superstar veteran winemaker Robert Brittan left behind his 30 years at Far Niente and Stags’ Leap Winery in Napa to fulfill his dream of making Pinot Noir from unique sites in cooler climates — and we are glad he did! This is an amazing wine drinking experience not to be missed!!

2011 Brittan Vineyards Pinot Noir Basalt Block
Willamette Valley, Oregon $294 6pack

94 Points Wine Advocate

“Brittan’s 2011 Pinot Noir Basalt Block delivers an impressively sappy and dense, vibrant and buoyant combination of tart red currant and blackberry with clean red meat juiciness; salt; crushed stone; and somehow, mysteriously crystalline traces. Such a range of complexity across fruit, animal, and mineral dimensions in such a still youthful wine is among the striking aspects of Brittan’s and his vineyard’s talents, as is their sense of energy, which unsurprisingly is almost palate-shaking on the present occasion, kinetics being another forte of the 2011 vintage. The tannins here are ultra-fine (even if the corresponding Gestalt Block bottling goes them one better!) and the finish is every bit as mouth-coating as it is vibratory. I suspect this will continue to impress through at least 2022.”
