Editor's Choice: Aromas of plum, light red currant, red apple, hibiscus and smoked meat are both pretty and rustic on the nose. The palate offers suave and rich cherry flavors alongside a spicy star anise kick.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
Was $30! An outrageous buy - our best selling pinot noir last year! The 2017 was great, but we think the 2018 is even better! One taste and we thought: “Load up”. MMM! Fresh, bright and terrifically complex for a wine we scored for $19!!
Don’t tell anyone, but this is what we like to call a “cellar defender”. You put it in front of the good stuff to protect your cherries from the late night drinkers! Perfect!! No one will know you paid $113.70 a 6-pack w/ free ground shipping! If you love pinot noir, and WANT to drink multiple glasses of it every night, as most of us do, let’s be serious...today is the day to pull the trigger. Pure, aromatic, zesty and long, this is simply astonishing at $18.95. Pinot drinkers need to heed the call and back up the truck on this one.
Gary Caraccioli’s Escolle Vineyard is an expertly farmed estate vineyard at the foot of Santa Lucia Mountains. Today’s pinot is sourced exclusively from this stellar site, so yes, single vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands pinot noir for under $19! Today, Caraccioli sells grapes to many a fine wine producer, and makes some of the best sparkling wine in the United States (yes, we went there).

What can we say? Tasty, lip-smacking cherry and rhubarb, with sweet strawberries kicking in on the back. Fresh and spicy, it’s simply irresistible -- be careful! We have 30 cases to sell to you and will likely sell out in hours, if not minutes. Grab it quick!
About the Producer
Gary Caraccioli grew up working on his family's farm in the Salinas valley at the foot of the Santa Lucia Mountains. In 2006, Gary enticed his Uncle Jim and brother Phil, to expand their agricultural roots into the wine business with the idea that they would make an exclusive and original wine that was not being produced anywhere else in the area. His goal was to develop a sophisticated and complex sparkling wine specific to the Santa Lucia Highlands. Today the Caraccioli's continue to produce Brut and Brut Rose sparkling wine varietals as well as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The fourth generation of the Caraccioli family has joined the founders in their venture, and Joe has since retired.
