Pinot Noir
Lot 947 is a $19 Pinot Noir that should cost $59. How can we say that? Because the CHW winemaking team told us it’s from a mind-blowing winery that discontinued its [pricy] Pinot program.

A bowl full of juicy raspberry and blackberry fruit, hints of dark earth notes, like rolling over a log in the forest, hints of black tea, and traces of vanilla. Those red and black fruits really pop on the palate, infused with black tea notes and lifted by mouthwatering, racy acidity. Velvety textures are laced with more vanilla and oak spices. Where does this belong in your cellar? It doesn’t. Drink up and enjoy with rotisserie chicken and potatoes, roasted and brined turkey, or 48-hour salted steaks, or just pour a contemplative glass and park yourself in front of a roaring fire. Yes.

CHW Confidential
We like to remind you that all day, every day, we do just two things: We scour the world for great grapes or young wine that needs a new home. And we usher those grapes from harvest or those new wines from tank straight through our own winemaking, aging, and bottling—to bring you great bottles at jaw-dropping prices. Our newest fall countdown wine is the pinnacle of just that - we’re leaving our soapbox and letting Lot 947 2018 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, do the rest of the talking.
The thing is, Lot 947 embodies those two things we do (seek out awesome grapes, and make awesome wine). For starters, Lot 947 is 100% Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley—an incredibly exciting region in Sonoma where some of the world’s great Pinot Noir wines are being made today. The winemaking team at CHW will only let us reveal that this was from a premium program that “may have been discontinued,” and they added, “punches way above its weight in both fruit and wood,” and then they told us, “and we’re buying up a bunch of it ourselves!”
Don’t worry, we scrubbed their emails off this one, so you get first dibs! Lot 947 delivers a bowl full of juicy raspberry and blackberry fruits, and hints of dark earth notes lifted by mouthwatering, racy acidity. Velvety textures are laced with more vanilla and oak spices. Where does this belong in your cellar? It doesn’t. It's ready to drink and so delicious right now you won’t want to wait. Drink up and enjoy with rotisserie chicken and potatoes, roasted and brined turkey, or 48-hour salted steaks, or just pour a contemplative glass and park yourself in front of a roaring fire. Yes.
