95 James Suckling -
Read
A super rich pinot with so many attractive fruit aromas and flavors, as well as deeply plush and fluid tannins that carry ripe black-cherry flavors long into a convincingly deep finish. Drink or hold.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
How many 95-pointers under $40 even EXIST??! Let’s talk about PINOT! Gran Moraine is a relatively new micro-producer that is currently in the midst of a torrid affair with critics, aficionados of the appellation, sommeliers and savvy Oregon passionistas. This is a spectacular vintage in the Willamette Valley (a vintage rated 97 points), and the Yamhill-Carlton bottling is a luxurious, sexy, powerful wine. Wow! It is truly astounding we were able to grab a few cases...and the price! Given the rapid rate we are selling through everything the last few days, this is sure to vanish with extreme quickness.
