About the wine
Burgundy-beating Pinot from the Russian River Valley
-
Daryl made $800 bottles of Penfolds Grange in Australia but now he's making his dream wines in California's wine country — thanks to you!
-
Daryl went to multiple 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.
-
Treat yourself by scooping up a few bottles of this Angel and critic favorite, a smooth-sipping red filled with ripe cherries, juicy berries and a soft finish from toasty oak.
Best before
I love this wine for drinking 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 always enjoy white meat like pork with my Pinots. But being very soft without heavy tannins, 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
