At one of our recent tasting panels, this bottle won unanimous approval quicker than any other wine we tasted. We were all impressed, and when our Master Sommelier, Sur Lucero, told us we could get it as a Wine Access exclusive at just $15 a bottleBOOM.

Our only questions were how much could we getand how could the winery possibly be turning a profit on this?

Great Pinot at this price should be all but impossible to make. The grape is notoriously difficult to farm. Yields are low and demand high, giving wineries almost no choice but to ratchet up the pricesomething every Pinot lover has surely noticed.

Thats where the genius of Embroidery vintner Trevor Sheehanwho Wine Access members know for his outstanding Technique and GAIT winescomes in. Sheehan is an elite dealmaker, possessing one of the greatest rosters of vineyard contacts in California, not to mention an ability to scout overperforming, under-the-radar vineyards.

The result is the kind of phenomenal, wallet-friendly Pinot you rarely see.

Wine Enthusiast showered Sheehans latest set of releases with praise, and the 2021 Embroidery makes it easy to see why. With its voluminous, plush texture and seductive nose of warm, soft berries dusted with cinnamon, this bottling announces itself as a Monterey County Pinot Noir of beautiful, sun-kissed concentration.

Its emblematic of the San Bernabe sub-AVA of Monterey, a region exposed to ocean fogs and brisk marine breezes that funnel down from Monterey Bay through the Salinas Valley. That climate, combined with well-draining Aeolian soils composed of eroded sand dunes, gave him the raw materials to make a Pinot of high-toned precision and depth.

Matured for a year in American oak barrels, this is the kind of Pinot bargain that everyone will want a piece of. Were holding all the cards, so the time to jump on this $15 steal is NOW.
