About this wine
Klopp Ranch is GONE! Now we head to the extreme Petaluma Gap with this 94 POINT powerhouse...keep up, people! Remember those 90s Gap commercials with the swing dancing and the khakis?! Everyone was so... happy?! Well, forget the khakis, we are talking about the REAL Gap... the Petaluma Gap! This is where the wind howls like a banshee and the fog rolls in thick enough to carve with a steak knife. It’s "Extreme Pinot" territory and MCDONALD MOUNTAIN is the absolute king of the hill! Our Gary Farrell single-vineyard heist keeps upping the stakes and this 94 POINT beast flat out SLAYS! 94 POINTS! This isn’t just Pinot; it’s a high-elevation adrenaline shot! We’re talkin’ about fruit grown in the rocky, wind-swept fringes of the Sebastopol Hills where the vines have to struggle just to wake up in the morning. The result? A concentrated surge of dusty raspberries, roasted mushrooms, and Bing cherry that hits like a velvet sledgehammer! It’s got that killer COLA SPICE and this pithy orange peel acidity that zips across your tongue like a live wire in a kiddie pool. This is serious, extraordinarily complex juice with cocoa powder and crushed roses on a finish that lasts longer than an extended edition LOTR marathon! SIXTY-FIVE PERCENT OFF! Are you kidding me right now?!?! This is a $75 bottle of single-vineyard royalty for TWENTY-SIX DOLLARS! We have a few more bottles of this than the last one, but with FREE SHIPPING ON EVERY SINGLE BOTTLE, the math is just too cray-cray for this to last! If you’re sitting there wondering if you should wait and see what pops up next...DON’T! The Gary Farrell hits are coming fast and furious, and you’re gonna have some serious FOMO if you miss this. LOAD UP! More to come! **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!**
