About the wine
Barrel-aged California Pinot
- This refined Pinot Noir is steeped in red fruit flavors with a touch of toasty spice from French oak aging – 14 months worth!
- Angels helped this Coppola/Sebastiani alum harvest Pinot from vineyards in Clarksburg in Sacramento’s Delta region, where afternoon breezes from the San Francisco Bay help thin-skinned grapes like Pinot ripen and develop beautiful flavor at the perfect pace.
- This easy-sipping red is a delight all on its own, but to make a feast out of it, pair a glass (or two) with duck breast or confit, Richard’s personal favorites.
Best before
This wine will age well for 7-12 years, but will drink well upon release.
Serving advice
Open and pour. If you age it for 10+ years you should decant/aerate.
Food match
I love this wine with crispy duck breast or duck confit.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Richard Bruno
Years Angel-funded: 2013-2023
- Richard Bruno is exactly what we love in a winemaker– the quiet achiever behind the scenes at some of the world's most famous wine brands. He's made wine for Francis Ford Coppola and Don Sebastiani, the latter of which was named Winery of the Year TWICE under his watch.
- During his decades making wine for famous wineries and earning them 90+ scores, he has traveled all up and down California's coastal wine regions. His experience and familiarity with the terrain allow him to sniff out the best-bang-for-buck pretty much anywhere in the state.
- Launching one's wine brand is hard and expensive, so Richard is using Angel funding – and he's able to focus on winemaking, instead of selling wine.
