About this wine
Klopp Vineyard is a Last Bottle favorite in Gary's portfolio...and now the legendary 2023 is here — and my-oh-my, is it ever worth the wait! They say the sequel is never as good as the original...but whoever said that clearly never saw The Empire Strikes Back or tasted the 2023 vintage in the Russian River! Remember that 2021 Klopp Ranch we featured some months back? The one that evaporated faster than a puddle in a Death Valley summer?! If you blinked, you missed it. Well, buckle up, buttercup, because we just pulled off the HEIST OF THE CENTURY and secured the 2023...and it is a total, unmitigated, soul-eviscerating WINNER! THE 2023 VINTAGE! No scores yet, but…WHO CARES?!?! The Savants know...and grizzled vineyard veterans across Sonoma are already calling 2023 the "vintage of a lifetime." We’re talking about a growing season that lasted forever — cool, steady, and perfect — leading to a phenolic ripeness that is simply OFF THE CHARTS! If the 2021 was a 94-point stunner, this 2023 is headed straight for the STRATOSPHERE! It’s got that signature Klopp Ranch pedigree...those legendary Goldridge loam soils and that cooling breeze that makes the Pinot Noir dance with an alpine freshness that’ll make your brain ricochet! SENSORY OVERLOAD! We’re talkin’ high-definition black cherry and wild raspberry jam slamming into notes of pulverized gravel and damp forest floor. It’s got these delicate, floating aromas of peonies and violets... then WHAM! A strongman’s sledgehammer of charred rosemary and fresh-poured asphalt hits the palate with electric, live-wire acidity! It’s sophisticated, it’s gritty, and it’s absolutely RIDONKULOUS! This is the score you’ll be bragging about at dinner parties for the next decade! THE MATH! SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLAR RETAIL... BUT NOT TODAY! We’re talkin’ TWENTY-SIX AMERICAN DOLLARS! That is OVER 65% OFF for what is arguably the most hyped vintage Klopp Ranch has ever seen! We’ve got a fair bit to start, but the way things have shaped up today — these could very well vanish like a phantom in the night! FREE SHIPPING ON EVERY SINGLE BOTTLE?!?! We have truly lost the plot! What a day for PINOT NOIR! While it lasts! **Heads up, Last Bottlers! Y’all have been ordering a CRAZY amount of wine lately (and we LOVE ya for that!) Our warehouse is picking and packing orders as fast as humanly possible, but that’s right about two weeks after your order is placed at the moment, so if you’re going ground…week three is when y’all should expect delivery. Of course, if you need that wine PRONTO — make use of any of our expedited shipping options at checkout and your order leaps to the front of the queue! Sorry for the delay…but I’ll let you in on a secret…ground-breaking changes are coming your way, soon!**
