Mission Codename MONUMENTal
This is the case of the Mondays that I can get excited about! Meyer Family Monday!!
A Spy and Operative favorite; they are BACK and better than ever with Monument Tree Vineyard Pinot Noir. Life is so gooood!
Now, for the uninitiated, Meyer Family is a super cool, in-the-know winery, and you might recognize Justin Meyer as co-founder of SILVER OAK. After Justin’s passing in 2002, the family settled up north but set their sights on making outstanding wine from Anderson Valley, Oakville, and Yorkville Highlands.
Today’s deal at almost half off a vineyard that adorns labels by only a select few like Copain, Drew, Failla, and Twomey is our love letter to you, dear Operatives. We’ve stashed the cases we want for ourselves so there is only so much to go around!
To say this wine is ‘enjoyable’ is like saying dropping the kids off with grandma on your way to a vacation to Cabo is ‘nice’. Immensely satisfying in every way! Pure, elegant fruit - blackberry, red cherry, cola and lush forest floor tones. This is truly perfection in textbook Pinot!
Make sure you grab one for every weeknight in the foreseeable future. And for those weekends, we hid a little bit of their 2015 BON BON down in the Store… here pure old vine Bonny’s juice from the heart of Oakville finished in French oak from the rare and fine winery library too, directly to yours truly.
Really, an absolute no-brainer if you love Pinot Noir. BUT a word of caution - there’s a near 100% chance these sell out abruptly, so treat yourself and do it quickly!
92 Points— Wine Enthusiast
“An almost sweet maraschino-cherry aroma leads to subtle earthy, spicy, mulled fruit flavors in this individualistic and light-bodied wine. It’s very smooth and deep on the palate, lightly tannic, and shows a slightly wild mushroomy aspect in the flavors that keeps it interesting.”
