About this wine
The 2022 McDonald Mountain vanished...but the 2023 vintage of the century just landed! Act fast! Ever seen The Fog?! Not the crappy remake, the 1980 John Carpenter original where the ghosts come out of the mist?! That is exactly what it’s like at McDONALD MOUNTAIN! This place is so deep in the Petaluma Gap that the vines basically have to wear parkas. Y’all saw the 2022 vintage of this wine disappear in a puff of smoke, and if you were one of the lucky ones who grabbed a bottle, you know why...but hold onto your hats, because the 2023 sequel is headlining a Last Bottle website near you — and it’s a total BLOCKBUSTER! No scores? NO PROBLEM! 2023’s simply INCREDIBLE vintage was a long, slow, luxurious growing season that allowed the fruit to hang out on the vine until it reached a state of earthly-body-transcending NIRVANA. While the critics are still sharpening their pencils and checking their spreadsheets, we’ve already tasted it and...WOW! It’s got more depth, more OOMPH, and more face-melting complexity than its predecessor…but with the SAME great price! We’re talkin’ about that high-altitude energy of dusty raspberry, forest floor, and that killer orange-peel zip that makes this site so iconic. It’s like brass knuckles wrapped in a silk scarf — it packs plenty of punch, but won’t leave a mark! OVER 65% OFF!!! We are doing it again! FREE SHIPPING ON ONE BOTTLE, too — this is going to be a total feeding frenzy! The heist that keeps on giving! If you missed the last one, here is your redemption arc. If you loved the last one, LOAD UP! This train is heading towards its final destination, but we’ve got a couple of stops left! ACT FAST! DON'T BLINK! GO GO GO!!! 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!**
