The Barn Raiser is back!  This is our second ever private label from the Russian River Valley.  The first vintage we did took home a Best of Class and 99-Points from the Press Democrat's North Coast Wine Challenge.  In fact, it was only one vote shy of winning Best of the Best for the whole competition.  It was a huge success and we sold out all 200 cases in a single day with people clamoring for more.  The 2022 vintage comes from the same winery and winemaker as the last one did and is equally (if not more) delicious than the 2021 vintage.  We can't say which winery it comes from, but we can tell you that it comes from a winery that charges $75 a bottle for their main labeling.  We received the Barn Raiser too early for the Press Democrat competition, so instead we entered it in the Los Angeles Invitational Wine & Spirits Challenge sponsored by The Los Angeles Times.  To our delight, it scored big there too.  The 2022 Barn Raiser Russian River Valley Pinot took home a Best of Class and 97-Points and was once again in the running for Sweepstakes Red.  The 2022 Barn Raiser Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is a great value with complex notes.  It has a medium-bodied palate and a long, savory finish.  This Pinot Noir is bursting with flavors of strawberry, red cherries, cloves, wild fennel and spice.  It's bright, aromatic and structured.  There are only 200 cases of this Pinot available so once it's gone, it's gone.  We are currently offering special pricing for this wine.  On April 1st, the price will go up.  Act fast!

"Showing good value. Uber complex notes." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Aromas of strawberry, red cherries, clove and wild fennel. The medium-bodied palate has a youthfully dense core of red fruit matched by generous new oak spice and a long, savory finish."
