WOW: Wine of the Week--Gainey Pinot Noir

WOW: Wine of the Week

Gainey Vineyard Pinot Noir 2006


Special Price: $15.75 (Save $12.25)

Almost half for for this 90-point California Pinot Noir!  How did Uncorked do it?!  That is our secret!

Here's the catch:  There are ONLY 6 cases available.  And, at this price, you should be buying this wine by the case!  A California Pinot Noir for under $20.00?!  Unheard of!

Reviews
"On par with the beautiful '05s, Gainey's 2006 Pinot Noir shows the crisp structure and delicious flavors that Santa Rita Hills so often brings to Pinot Noir.  it's dynamic in cherry, currant, root beer, vanilla and spice flavors, wrapped into a silky mouthfeel." - 90, Wine Enthusiast
Tasting Notes
"Our 2006 Pinot Noir is a worthy successor to the much-praised 2005, which garnered a bevy of sobriquets from leading wine critics. Like 2005, 2006 was a cool growing season in the Santa Rita Hills, with an extended harvest period that allowed our Pinot Noir grapes to attain an ideal balance of sugar and acidity. Perhaps even more focused and concentrated than its predecessor, the 2006 is classically styled, with fresh, pure fruit, bright acidity and succulent, perfectly balanced flavors of red raspberries and Bing cherries accented by alluring Asian spice tones. Beautifully structured, with firm, supple tannins, its delicious red fruit and savory spice flavors are expertly framed by subtle French oak tones." - Winemaker Notes

It is unfortunate that we do not express our thankfulness on a monthly, daily, hourly basis, but rather the focus is on one particular time of year.  So...in the spirit of Thanksgiving, Uncorked would like to extend a BIG "Thank You" to our clients over the last 2½ years.  Without you, Uncorked would not be a reality for us!  You have opened your cellars and your minds to our concept...and for that, we will be eternally thankful. 

 

We have added a monthly wine tasting to express our gratitude.  This month, our WOW: Wine on Wednesday will be on November 17^th at Savannah Red in the Charlotte Marriott Uptown.  For more information on that tasting, please view our Facebook page. 

 

This week Uncorked is featuring our "Give Thanks" Holiday Gift box.  Our "Give Thanks" box will take you from appetizers to turkey on Thanksgiving Day.  Featured inside this two bottle gift box is:
