Vineyards Pinot Noir Avere Sonoma Stage Petaluma Gap 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003ePetaluma is the official halfway point on my commute from Windsor to Napa. It also marks the beginning of the most picturesque part of the drive as I exit 101 and wind my way through the verdant countryside and vineyards heading east. It’s right here, nestled in these temperate, rolling hills, where today’s gorgeous 95-point Pinot Noir is grown – at a tucked-away site called Sonoma Stage Vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt never fails to amaze me that I once drove these breathtaking roads on a vacation before ever living here. Yes, I’m one of those transplants who visited, fell hard for the area, and found myself moving to wine country not long after. A sip of this fresh and generous Pinot reminds me of the exact thing I became enamored with on that first trip: small family producers, terroir-shaped wines, and stories of pure passion and perseverance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you can’t tell, I like romanticizing things – long commutes, old memories, and definitely the wines I taste for work. (Such a tough job, I know!) When a wine can tie experiences and emotions together, it can add a bit of magic to the everyday, and the V. Vineyards 2021 'Avere' Pinot Noir does exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has so much depth and charisma, with stunning bright flavors of strawberry, pomegranate, hibiscus, and a vibrant splash of citrus, grounded by meandering notes of damp earth, black tea, hazelnuts, and crunchy plum. It makes complete sense that “Avere” means “to desire, wish or long for; to crave.” And truly, drinking it feels like exactly what you’d crave – a picnic on a warm, breezy evening, or the wine you’d open if your best friend came over to do a puzzle and catch up for an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is absolutely magnetic, and easily worth the winery’s $72 retail price. Our price, however, is under $30. We’re also throwing in free shipping when you grab 3 or more bottles. It's just the thing to add a little revelry to your week!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"First Bottle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53198043021609,"sku":"1015445","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/2706\/8457\/files\/VVineyardsPNR_1015445_FB_Rack.jpg?v=1781657921","url":"https:\/\/firstbottlewines.com\/products\/v-vineyards-pinot-noir-avere-sonoma-stage-petaluma-gap-2021","provider":"First Bottle Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
