THE WINE INSIDERS “OUTSTANDING 94+” RATING: 
This is a racy wine that will reward those with the patience to indulge in it over the course of an evening. Persistent fruit flavors cradle an intricate mixture of spice and oak - all carried by that luxurious silky texture that Pinot lovers are always on the look out for. This gorgeous Pinot will easily cellar for 5-7 years and provide healthy dividends to the patient soul that is able to show such restraint! 

Porthos Insider Scoop: 
If you like SINE QUA NON wines you’ll LOVE this new release from Manfred Krankel’s winemaker. This inaugural release is very, very similar to SINE QUA NON’S Oregon Pinot ($300/bottle - 96 points) except that the price is 1/6 and it’s not sold out (yet). Simply stated, this is the #1 finest Oregon Pinot under $50 we’ve discovered and our pick for the next 'Cult' Pinot craze!!!
