Product Description

"These killer deals are few and far between, but when we tasted this wine, we bought EVERY BOTTLE we could get our hands on! The 2014 Jules Harrison Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard is from the highly-regarded vineyard in Santa Maria Valley (Santa Barbara County) and is meant to sell for $45/bottle (which is pretty much our price for a single bottle), but if you buy 3 or more, the price crashes down to under $17! Bien Nacido is in the unique position of being on the receiving end of the only east-west transverse mountain range in California, so it enjoys warm days and cool nights. Combining the effects of the fog from the ocean with soils composed of gravel and calciferous clay, this vineyard produces wines with a distinctive and sought-after character. The other Bien Nacido Pinot Noirs we have in stock sell for $44.99 (or more)! Today’s wine is made by Joe Davis, a firm believer in Old World methods of crafting Pinot Noir and a terroir-driven philosophy of making wines that fully express the distinct characteristics of each vineyard. We don’t expect this under $17 Bien Nacido Pinot Noir to last long!" – Glen Knight, Wine House (2/10/17)
