You like puzzles? Here’s a tough one:

What’s between Rochioli and DuMOL but costs less than a trip to the movies?

This! Totally puzzling. And dazzling. Even bamboozling! How can it be?

We’ve discovered a handful of spellbinding Pinots this year - the Lussier and Read Holland come to mind. And now add this to the list - a 94 pointer from a highly esteemed new project and born from prime Pinot breeding grounds.

And the best part? Over 50% OFF drops the price to a level that’s unheard of when you consider the neighboring producers.

Per The Tasting Panel, the source is “wedged between Rochioli and DuMOL.” Considering your typical DuMOL Pinot is priced at $75. And Rochioli around $90. And other producers from Green Valley (home to Radio-Coteau, Paul Hobbs, Littorai) - they all clock WELL above what you’re paying here.

This comes from an Advanced Sommelier who curated wine lists for 1-3 Michelin-starred restaurants under the esteemed Charlie Palmer and Omakase groups, after a stint at Napa Valley cult winery Kenzo Estate. A true tastemaker, he knows what it takes to make great wine, and where those gapes hail from.

Ultra-polished and downright sexy, this is brimming with red and black cherries, delectable strawberry, sarsaparilla, forest floor, black truffle, and sweet baking spices like cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. With satisfying concentration and structure, it delivers way above the price you’re paying today. Truly one of our best Pinot discoveries this year!

OK, got some? Good, because it won’t last!

94 Points – The Tasting Panel

“Wedged between Rochioli and DuMOL, this sommelier-crafted red has real estate pedigree and inherent finesse. Scents of roses amid briar with a cinnamon twist are savory. Delicate and juicy, with a gossamer sheath of cranberry, incense, forest floor, and black cherry. Rose petals glisten with a balance of fine acidity.”
