Mission Codename Bella Della 4

“I left Kosta Browne as she was no longer my project; she became my passion and obsession. I have been crafting distinctive Pinot Noir and Chardonnay ever since.” – David Hajl

“So incredible…” – Bruce L.
“One of my favorite Wine Spies purchases.” – Mike C.
“Sad I didn’t buy more of these. So, so good right now, and will probably just improve! I drank my 3 bottles way too fast…” – Johan G

Bruce, Mike, and Johan especially - along with everyone else who raved about the previous pair of Domaine Della Pinots.

We have great news.

Today we’re rolling out a good ol’ CELLAR STOCKER DELLA STYLE!

A total of 6 Pinots and a precious rare Chardonnay will appear, one after another until all are gone. With small lots of examples from the prized single vineyards from the Central Coast to Sonoma. Big scores! Big discounts! And each one is all but guaranteed to sell out FAST at these giveaway prices.

If you like Kosta Browne, Williams Selyem, Kistler or any other similarly lavish and luxurious Pinots, these deliver a similar experience for a fraction of the price.

Domaine Della is a hot new project by Hajl pursuing his own winemaking passion by starting Domaine Della in 2015. The aim was simple - make some of the best Pinot and Chardonnay possible. To that end, he sourced from the best growers and vineyards around, with which he had deep relationships with up and down California’s premier vineyards and locations.

For the next 3 Pinots, we switch our focus to the Russian River Valley, where the ripest, richest grapes thrive, leading to wines that truly shine Chez Della. Planted in 1977, the Earl Stephens Vineyard lies in the Green Valley sector of Russian River Valley, just 8 miles from the Pacific. Double 94-point reviews say it all, it’s as good as the cult style of Pinot gets!

Another ticket to first-class Pinot at an economy deal. Delivering that style, you crave for MUCH less than you thought possible.

I know we say it a lot, however, EACH ONE WILL SELL OUT. No doubt about it. We stashed a few cases for ourselves, but the rest is fair game…

*94 Points – Jeb Dunnuck “The 2018 Pinot Noir Earl Stephens Vineyard offers a touch more complexity in its ripe red and black fruits, sagebrush, tobacco, and spring flower-like aromas and flavors. These all flow to a straight-up gorgeous, opulent Pinot Noir with a silky mouthfeel, polished tannins, and a great, great finish. This is pure Russian River goodness, and while I don’t think it’s going to make old bones, it will evolve nicely for a solid 4-6 years. Drink 2020-2026.”

*94 Points – Wine Enthusiast “A warm, rich depth of wild strawberry, black cherry, cinnamon and vanilla wrap around a soft, layered and lengthy expression of the variety, offering length and breadth in addition to enduring earthiness. Cardamom and black tea accent the finish contrasted by a twist of tangerine.”
