About the wine
Vibrant and soft Sonoma Pinot
This silky-smooth red from a prime-time Pinot region spills over with flavors like ripe cherries, juicy wild berries and a touch of toasty oak.
Daryl went to five different vineyards in Sonoma’s Russian River Valley to give his Pinot mouthfilling layers of flavor — then aged it in French oak for satiny-smooth richness.
Your winemaker made $800 bottles of Penfolds Grange in Australia, but now he’s making his dream wines in California wine country - thanks to you! Treat yourself by scooping up a few bottles of this Angel and critic favorite Pinot.
Best before
I love drinking this now because of its vibrancy, youthfulness and softness. It will also be great in 5 years and best consumed within 10 years.
Serving advice
No need to decant. Serve straight from the bottle and slightly chilled if it's a hot day.
Food match
I enjoy meat like pork with my Pinot. But being very soft, it can be enjoyed with almost any food.
Contains sulphites
Always check the label

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Daryl Groom
- Meet Daryl... a 35-year veteran of the wine biz, credited eight-times as Winemaker of the Year, named by Food & Wine Magazine as one of 11 visionaries to change the world of wine... and oh yes, he served up his wines at the Oscars and Emmys two years in a row! Safe to say, the man's accomplished.
- Working as the senior white and red winemaker at Penfolds, his 1986 Penfolds Grange was arguably one of the top 3 Granges ever made - 98 points from Spectator and Robert Parker. And now that he works for you, he loves showing off wines from Australia and his California home – Sonoma and Russian River Valley.
- Thanks to your funding, Daryl can focus on doing what he loves – making great wine and sharing great wine. And he selects the best barrels he needs and farms to the best quality. "You are a gift from God to a winemaker," he says. "I knew there were Angels in heaven!"

–– "Groom is my choice for Winemaker of the Year " -- LA Times, Dan Berger
