Lot 939 showcases the bold essence of Monterey County's terroir, where cool coastal winds dance over the vineyards, infusing the grapes with invigorating vitality. This Pinot Noir exudes a lively charm with vibrant acidity, weaving through layers of dark cherry and cranberry notes, accented by hints of wild herbs and spices. Its opulent texture envelops the palate, making it equally delightful for a moment of solitary indulgence or paired with sumptuous dishes enriched with aromatic spices. For a harmonious dining experience think about classic Italian pairings like silky pasta dishes with earthy mushroom ragu or a hearty slice layered with tangy tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and salty prosciutto. The wine's bright acidity will cut through the richness, creating a flavor explosion on your taste buds. Buon appetito!

CHW Confidential
Calling all Pinot Noir fanatics! Buckle up, because we've got another award-winning monster for you.
Past vintages of this Lot have been showered with superlatives like juicy, zesty, full-bodied, plush, and round. And guess what? This one lives up to the hype. The source winery in Napa is a powerhouse with access to California's dream vineyards, especially in Monterey. Shhh, here's the secret (don't tell our Sonoma friends): Monterey might be the state's most underrated Pinot Noir region.  The secret weapon? Monterey Bay's "Blue Grand Canyon." Frigid offshore winds – think permanently bent trees – come blasting in, forcing Pinot grapes to grow thicker skins. The result? Wines loaded with freshness, fragrance, power, and that perfect racy acidity we love. Boom!
Think Lot 939 is all about structure? Think again. We're talking juicy dark cherry, plum, a sprinkle of herbs and baking spices, and a texture so plush it rivals heavy-hitters like Chalone, Pisoni, Talbott, and Wente (whose top bottles can set you back $75!). This is your chance to experience world-class Pinot Noir without breaking the bank. It's a Napa powerhouse meets Monterey magic kind of deal that does not disappoint!
