About the wine
Plush Reserve red from a Sonoma veteran
-
This rich, elegant Pinot Noir is packed with mouthfilling layers of refined red and dark fruit flavors that glide into a long, lavish finish.
-
With the help of Angel funding, Daryl harvested a majority of his Pinot from a trio of premier Russian River Valley vineyards and treated the wine to aging in French oak barrels for richness and depth of flavor.
-
This stunning Pinot is a limited-edition release, Daryl says. Consider this your one shot to make the most of the Angel-exclusive savings you get for making it possible!
Best before
I love the wine now for its youthfulness and early drinkability, but I feel it will easily age well for 10+ years.
Serving advice
Serve slightly chilled if having it outdoors in summer.
Food match
This is great with white meat or lean red meat, especially pork-based dishes.

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!"
