But we can give you crumbs. This is a single vineyard Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley. The same 10-acre site that has produced $85 to $110 bottlings that scored 93 to 94 points from Wine Advocate. The vineyard is tiny. Highly regarded. And normally the fruit does not end up in a $19.98 bottle. The 2023 vintage in the North Coast was exceptional for red wines. Long, extended growing season. Cool conditions. Phenolic ripeness without heat. The result was an abundance of outrageously good fruit at a time when the market simply could not absorb all of it. That is when labels like this appear. This Anderson Valley Pinot Noir delivers classic cool-climate character. Not flashy. Not overripe. Refined, balanced, Burgundian in restraint, but with that sweet center-core fruit that keeps you going back for another glass. It has elegance. It has gravitas. It drinks like something far more serious than the price suggests. Other wines from this site sell for up to $110. This is $19.98. Buy six and it drops even further. This is the beauty of 2023. For Pinot lovers, this is just the beginning.
