About this wine
May Day! May Day! We’re kicking off the month with a whole new cache of single vineyard Pinot Noirs — from a certified Russian River ICON — all dropping into your inbox at OVER 65% OFF! Gary Farrell Day — REPLAY! With FREE SHIPPING on ALL orders?!?! Let’s do this!!! Same great producer, but new vintages, and new vineyards, and new bottlings of his best-of-the-best, single vineyard Pinot Noirs brand spanking new to the Last Bottle Universe!!! (Ok, a couple of these might have popped up for two minutes in our Spring Marathon…but that was human error…and the intern responsible has been dipped in an obscene amount of red wax like a Belle Glos Pinot and properly shamed and ridiculed.) ANYWHO!!! We’re kicking this all off with a simply RIDONKULOUS 65+% OFF on Gary’s 92 POINT Martaella Vineyard Pinot Noir. YES!!! Seriously fan-boying over here…this is one of the TOP players in the game out in Sonoma — and I’ve been sipping and savoring these fantastic wines for YEARS! If you don’t know the Russian River Valley’s Laguna de Santa Rosa region — take note! This 22-mile-long wetlands complex is one of the coolest spots in the entire RRV, with fog and moisture aplenty every morning. These heavy clay soils are unique to the area — and the wines are like nowhere else! Broad, bold, and dare-I-say…BROODING! Lot’s of cola spice, but with perfectly balanced and bright flavors of cherries, and cranberries, with woodsy herbs, and crushed rose petals, and even a bit of spiced mulberry tea! Round, silky, and ready to rock your house to its very foundations — if you like the POWERFUL side of Russian River, with the elegant brightness of a downright impeccable food wine — look…no…FURTHER! Grab this…obviously. But then…stay tuned, ‘cause we have some more single vineyard MAYHEM coming your way today!!! Derby Day might be tomorrow (Go, baby, GO!) but we’re running our own race today…and Pinot Pedigree is making its own run for the roses! While they last!!! **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!**
