Starmont Pinot Noir Carneros 2016

HOW do we do it, you ask? Well, we’re Napa Valley locals – and what can we say...we KNOW people. Starmont winery is just a hop, skip, and a wine-besotten leap down the road from Last Bottle Planetary Headquarters – and even closer to one of our favorite new Napa restaurants. We live and breathe this stuff – wine, food, more wine, more food...repeat. What a life. But this...WOW! 44% OFF Starmont’s lush, bright, toasty 92-POINT Carneros pinot? Oh hell yes!

Starmont is part of Merryvale Vineyards (started by Bill Harlan and Robin Lail – two GIANTS of the Napa Valley, no biggie). and has nearly become an ubiquitous wine in restaurants around the country – it’s just a rock-solid, over-delivering bottle every time. At 44% OFF, well, it’s a wine to drink and share and love with unfettered abandon. 

This dark and almost LUSTY wine, with tons of silky pinot fruit, plum jam, deep and heady baking spices galore, and caramel-coated, coffee-roasted, and perfectly toasty French oak finish – MMMmmmMMM! Tastes like something much more than even the winery’s $27 price point, but at our tremendous price, it’s a gargantuan no-brainer for all-the-time drinking! Will go fast...!
