“You know that every wine they make is going to be somewhere between outstanding to just tremendous.”

Galloni nailed it with his comment about Purlieu.

So naturally, when we had a chance to land another one - we jumped! You can rarely find this wine for less than $49 anywhere - so our price…$29?! Hard to believe.

Quick reminder - two weeks ago we rolled out the flagship Purlieu Cabernet - which sold out. This should follow suit.

After all, Le Pich represents one of the finest “second” wines in Napa Valley, made by 100-point winemaker Julian Fayard.

Julian hails from just outside Lyon, France. With a few wine degrees under his belt from UC Davis, he set off to conquer the winemaking scene, starting at Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Smith Haut Lafitte, and others. Then he landed in Napa Valley. He worked alongside the illustrious Phillipe Melka, producing extraordinary wines from Lail, Vineyard 29, Metisse, Dalla Valle and MANY other high-end producers.

Then he set sights on his own ventures - Purlieu and Le Pich in particular. The latter being the “sister” wine of Purlieu. But THIS - this is the real deal. Past releases described as being a “total charmer” and “full body…round, impressively textured”. And this is no different. Balanced and broadly shouldered with fruit. It pops with crushed blueberries, boysenberry and dark cherries. Sweet spices and windswept herbs make an appearance, too. Medium to full-bodied, with supple soft tannins, and an overall balanced feel - it’s hard to find fault here.

And our value proposition is impossible to beat.

We’re lucky to have ANY of this one. What little we could gather up will be gone by the end of day.
