For our 12-bottle members, this winter’s Trust the Winemaker selection is an extraordinary exploration of Pinot Noir across time and terroir, spanning vintages from 2012 all the way to 2024 across two continents. Because you’re receiving our maximum tier savings, we’ve stacked this shipment with rare cellar features.

Your box includes both the 2012 and 2013 Evans Pinot Noir from Northern California - lush, "baroque" examples of warm-climate aged Pinot Noir. To explore the evolution of our local terroir, you’ll compare the young, vibrant 2024 Gold Digger Pinot Noir against the 2021 Gold Digger, which is right in its prime.

As an exclusive feature, 12-bottle members receive our 2018 Estate Pinot Noir. While 2018 was a divisive, unusual vintage in Central Otago, our block produced an extraordinarily elegant, non-baroque style marked by raspberry, light cherry, anise, and lacy acidity. (Note: Since 12-bottle members received The Dux in the previous shipment, we’ve swapped it out here to give you an even wider bottle range).

Whether you take detailed tasting notes or simply enjoy the warmth in your glass, we hope you love exploring this 12-year sweep of winemaking history!
