Seeing roughly one-third whole clusters and a mix of new and neutral oak, the 2015 Pinot Noir Estate is another terrific wine from this benchmark estate. Possessing a more structured, backward feel as well as a deep, powerful nose of black currants, charcoal, and scorched earth, this is a serious, age-worthy Pinot Noir that needs 3-4 years of bottle age yet will see its 20th birthday in fine form.

Brilliantly fresh and snappy black raspberry aromas lead into a savory streak of mulberry-laced pork fat, hickory and tobacco smoke, with a hint of crushed slate on this wine's fascinating and shape-shifting nose. Peppery spice grips the palate immediately, then splashes fresh red plum and pomegranate flavors around, finishing on white pepper, cracked nutmeg and unrelenting tension.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
A MUST if you are serious about pinot noir (and really, who isn’t in our geeky wine world??). The 2015 is arguably the greatest wine yet from this classic Santa Cruz Mountains producer since 1945!
Seriously -- I drank a 1974 Mount Eden a year or two ago, and it was SPECTACULAR. The wines MASSIVELY overdeliver at their price point ($59.95, for real??) and age gorgeously. I’d bet many an older bottle gets picked as Grand Cru Burgundy in blind tastings!! The 2015 version of this wine may be one of the best we've ever tasted! The warm growing season brought a generosity and ripeness to this wine which seamlessly complements its inherent minerality and layered complexity. Yikes, this is scary good!
Today we are offering free shipping on three or more bottles, we really can't make this much easier for you if you like world class pinot noir from a LEGEND! Santa Cruz Mountains is still one of the most underated wine regions in California!
The new release is stunning. Just read a bit of what the pros say: “...deep, powerful nose of black currants, charcoal, and scorched earth, this is a serious, age-worthy pinot noir...Brilliantly fresh and snappy black raspberry aromas lead into a savory streak of mulberry-laced pork fat, hickory and tobacco smoke, with a hint of crushed slate…” Oh man, get in my glass NOW!
Compare this to many, MANY other pinots from the same vintage with a score like this...they are QUITE a bit more expensive!! But...we only have about 8 cases to sell you -- please, if you as anywhere near as geeky as we are when it comes to pinot, DO NOT MISS!
An outrageous buy at $179.70 for a 3-pack DELIVERED.

About the Producer
Mount Eden Vineyards is a small historic wine estate perched at 2000 feet overlooking Silicon Valley in the Santa Cruz Mountain Appellation, about 50 miles south of San Francisco. Founded in 1945, it is recognized as one of the original boutique California wineries, focusing on small lots of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Mount Eden's lineage of estate bottled Chardonnay and Pinot Noir is the longest in California. Since 1981 Jeffrey Patterson has guided the winemaking and grape growing at Mount Eden. His emphasis is on wine growing rather than winemaking; and an obsession with gentleness and naturalness in the cellar, his wines are full of nuance and subtlety.
