About the wine
Daryl was desperate to craft this world-class pinot noir exclusively for you
- The making of this wine was the realisation of a dream for Daryl, who’s been chomping at the bit for a chance to make you a world-class pinot noir from one of Sonoma County’s top vineyards.
- This picturesque vineyard sits in the rolling hills at the heart of the Russian River Valley. The appellation is the most recognized and prized area in the United States for growing high quality cool climate chardonnay and pinot noir.
- Utterly alluring to drink, Daryl’s classy pinot is soft and round, subtly teasing your taste buds. It has a classic meaty, smokey, salami type funkiness that balances really perfectly with a bright red fruit aroma, vanilla and spice.

Drink now until 2031
Serving advice
On warm or hot days I like to give the wine a slight
chill to around 15°.
Food match
My favourite pairing with pinot noir is pork,
specifically a simply brined and grilled pork chop
or a local carnitas taco from the many Mexican
restaurants nearby.
