Mission Codename Mixed signals
Cāmon Furthermore, one hit after anotherā¦ when will you stop?
DONāT!
Donāt you dare Ross, keep āem coming. That Gapās Crown last month was a stunner, yet so is this. Did we say 94 POINTS and over 40% off again? Stop it, please, we canāt keep up anymore!!
That was a lie. Go onā¦
Ross Cobb according to Antonio Galloniās Vinous makes āsome of the most beguiling, transparent Pinots in all of Californiaā - TRUTH, as you just canāt make this stuff up. 2019 Cobb Pinots earned 95-98 points from Robert Parkerās Wine Advocate āoffering exceptional elegance, brightness, purity, the energy and concentration to age a decade or more in the cellarā but they retail for $80-125 per bottle.
And insiders KNOW that this āGraton Ridge Vineyardā is the exclusive ESTATE sight for Furthermore with a neighbor you may know, Paul Hobbs. Except those wines go for TRIPLE what youāre paying for this neighborhood today. A stoneās throw away are names like Kistler, Lynmar, and Dutton Estate basically it comes from a spot as good as Russian River Pinot sources get.
Whatās in the glass is an elegant ballerina, dancing to a waltz of floral and red fruit aromatics with spices, minerals, and savory herbs filling in on the violins, err I mean the palate. Itās so bright and juicy that with a slight chill, itās your poolside Pinot for the warmer months ahead. Buy a case and start opening now for the occasional rainy days too. With some brick oven pizzas, this will blow your little mind.
Furthermoreā¦ well, we just said it all.
94 Points ā Wine Enthusiast
āThis lighter style Pinot is not at all lacking in aromatic complexity and layers of flavor. Balsam, black tea, cinnamon and Bing cherries treat the nose before a suave texture and medium body carry rich plum and maraschino cherry across the palate and into a lingering finish.ā
