Pinot Noir 2017 – Black Market Deal #41893

An incredible vineyard planted entirely to pinot noir. Determined to make the absolute best quality wine, the opportunity cost essentially equals one vine producing no more than one bottle. Pretty tiny volumes, right? Quality always comes at a price. The pinot is of course entirely hand-harvested, basket-pressed, wild yeast- fermented and only seeing the finest of French oak. The resulting pinot is concentrated, textured and layered with superb fruit, dancing along a black cherry spectrum and undergrowth notes of mushroom and earth. While it isn’t shy on tannins, this fairly robust pinot is still light on its feet, with an ethereal quality in spades. Heavenly pinot, and in our opinion, worthy of more than 97 points. Powerful and sophisticated.

What is a Black Market deal?

Black Market deals are only made possible if we don’t reveal the maker’s brand on site. The wines are the genuine article – absolutely no cleanskins or fake brands, just dangerously good value. You won’t find out what it is until it hits your doorstep, but you won’t regret it. Just keep it on the down low.
