Mission Codename The Explorer

Today’s 2011 Sta. Rita Hills Ashley’s Pinot Noir marks a very welcome return for Fess Parker Winery.

Sourced entirely from Fess Parker’s bucolic 714-acre Santa Barbara ranch, today’s wine is incredibly flavorful - and incredibly well balanced. Stephen Tanzer said it perfectly when he described today’s wine: “Juicy, penetrating red fruit flavors show impressive depth as well as energy and pick up spiciness with air.”

We always enjoy finding Pinots that pair tremendous flavor with an elegant mouthfeel, and today’s wine fits the bill perfectly. Please accept our boldest recommendation on today’s stunning wine.

Here’s how WIA Works:

Over the next two weeks, we’ll revisit the TOP hits of 2024. Our favorite winemaker. The top Italian. A treasured cult selection, and the ever-popular most wanted Napa Cab.

Plus many more.

  • If you're in the Facebook group, check out the pinned post and please drop your favorites. If we can, we'll work in a special Operative requests day.
  • And yes, I know some of you are trying to exercise restraint, and we apologize. But it is the season of giving, and a case of wine for yourself is self care, right?
  • The discounts, as usual, will be steep and deep. Hopefully you'll find more than a few of your favorites from the past year. Every one of these wines has proven extremely popular so we encourage you to act fast and early as quantities are often even more limited the second time around.
  • As we near the Holidays and wrap up another great year we are as ALWAYS, ever grateful for your ongoing support. It's been an amazing year and we cannot wait to do it again in 2025.
