Brassfield Estate Winery Pinot Noir High Valley 2017
No, no HO HO HO jokes, no, we are, even on Christmas, solidly laser-focused on vinous deliciousness, wicked bargains, but especially nectarous, ambrosial goodness first and foremost!! BRASSFIELD is BACK -- the awesome ‘17 Pinot “High Valley” is SINGING hallelujah --- we only wish we had more…!
**Did you get some? Sweet. BEST $15 pinot you’ll get.**
The ham is in the oven (Riesling and dijon/thyme glaze, SO much yum), we’re locked in the office (kids are raucous with their new stuff to say the least) and this is going into the glass as we type. High Serenity Ranch is north of Napa and this area touts incredible volcanic soil vineyards at elevations from 1800-3,000 feet! Brassfield holds nothing back to make great wine and we are beyond stoked to have this new pinot at this price. Sweet cranberry, bright zesty cherry, cedar, a bit of cola and nutmeg, super zesty and clean, pure as Bing Crosby’s voice belting out “Winter Wonderland”. Soft and generous, pure and simply delish. What else can you possibly want?!
WARNING! This is WAY too easy to drink. What happened to my bottle?
While it lasts! Merry Christmas everyone, we love you madly!

About The Producer
"In 1973, Jerry Brassfield purchased the original 1,600 acres as a cattle ranch and wildlife preserve. Over the next three decades Jerry acquired additional contiguous properties. Today, the Brassfield Estate includes over 2,900 acres across both the eastern and the western sections of High Valley, as well as the Round Mountain Volcano.
In 1998, the different sections of the ranch were investigated for their potential to produce outstanding estate-grown wines. The vineyard development started in 2001 has grown to a state-of-the-art farming operation as well as our winemaking facility."
