Mission Codename Spot on
Double Agent: Wightman is no more! Shifting gears to a balanced Pinot Noir from famed Winemaker David Rossi.
“A fulcrum is a point of balance for a lever and his goal is to leverage the best wine out of the best grapes while maintaining balance. That is what Fulcrum is all about.” - PinotFile
Archimedes said, “give me a big enough lever and a fulcrum and I’ll move the world”.
I say, “give me a bottle of Fulcrum and I will attempt to move mountains!”
The right fulcrum gives you the leverage to multiply efforts and in the wine world that means getting prime fruit, using great barrels, and perhaps most importantly - having a skilled winemaking hand.
If you aren’t lucky enough to be in the know yet, meet Fulcrum. Self-taught proprietor/winemaker David Rossi has been creating wines of balance as in the project’s name, with complexity and intrigue from all over Sonoma for almost two decades.
Much praise has been heaped upon David Rossi and his wines. A favorite comes from wine writer Dan Berger’s Vintage Experiences, and he says, “the aromas, tastes, and structures of the wines are near-perfect and much better than most higher-priced PNs.”
I’d bet a dollar that you’d blind taste this Pinot Noir and guess it retailed for over $60. So ALREADY at retail pricing, this wine is a deal. But wait… that’s not all! Today, we’re able to bring this beauty to you for over 40% off the already low retail pricing. Double win for you!
The North Coast bottling for On Point is a blend of some excellent vineyards from all over the region. As the Winemakers Select is a blend of the best barrels Wildcat Mountain, Walala and Gap’s Crown Vineyards. What a blend!
Fairly rich, round and polished on the palate. It booms with dark Bing Cherries, a touch of cola and a melange of spices on the nose. It all leads perfectly into the silky smooth, well integrated tannins. On the tongue, find a basket of fresh summer berries, cedar and the loveliest bit of minerality. Just exceptional stuff and drinking absolutely primetime right now.
This is SMALL production; you won’t find it out in the wild. And it’s 40% off today!
