Too late, we are SOLD OUT!

Simon Faury is the French-born winemaker at Merryvale Vineyards (his resume includes Domaine de Chevalier, Château Pichon Longueville, Bodega Michel Rolland in Mendoza, Robert Mondavi, The Napa Valley Reserve and Harlan Estate, among others) and THIS gorgeous, fine, complex pinot is the first release under his own label, Domaine Faury-Gros. We were incredibly impressed, to say the least...and decided then and there you needed to know about it. It's good to be a Napa local I guess!

Simon will tell you this was an unabashed attempt to mimic great Burgundy. ONLY 3 BARRELS MADE! Deeply concentrated with impeccable balance and a crazy-long, layered finish, this is sexy stuff. It has more stuffing and tannin than many Cali pinots and that is quite deliberate, according to Simon. He has done his best to make a wine that is both enjoyable upon release, and mind-blowing with ample cellaring. BRAVO!

Get the debut release!! How proud are we to be one of the very first to offer this in the USA?! Sweet!
