About this wine
93 POINTS, only $35 for an absolutely rocking estate-grown Pinot! Fort Ross Vineyard is back – and this PISONI-made gem is a must-have! Boisterous and beautiful Pinot Noir, straight from the wild and windy reaches of the extreme Sonoma Coast, from the folks that put the FORT ROSS in the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA – at a simply GA-GA price! YES!!! It looks like a pretty good day to add some more slammin', Sonoma Coast Pinot to my collection! And yours, too. Luckily, Fort Ross Winery shows up with WINNERS, each and every time. These pioneers of the Sonoma Coast have quickly become Last Bottler favorites – and this 2021 estate-grown Pinot just might be the absolute PINNACLE of wine I’ve ever tasted from these Sonoma stalwarts! This will battle with plenty of $100+ Sonoma Coast vinos – but when you’re a member of the Last Bottle faithful – you don’t have to pay NEARLY the usual price! Over 55% OFF? Oh yes, good people…just THIRTY-FIVE DOLLARS snags you a bottle of THIS! A divinely SINGING 93 POINT review, saying this gem is \"distinctive earthy, meaty streak gives extra interest and personality\" and how it's both \"complex and compelling.\" WHAT more could you ask for! We don’t have as much as we’d like – but those that FLY are going to be celebrating, no question!! Darkly rich, and utterly PACKED with muddled bramble berries, roasted strawberries, cherries, sweet and heady floral and spice notes, with this inky and velvety texture that just don’t quit…WOWZA! The sappy fruit and high-toned energy carries for DAYS, with this holiday spice cake decadence and a whiff of bacon fat that makes this SOAR! Oh baby, is this ever tasty! The tapestry of flavors, and Jeff Pisoni’s deft touch brings it all together for a song and dance routine that would make Sabrina Carpenter envious. For only $35? Go…just…GO!!!
