About the wine
Savory, barrel-aged Pinot Noir - a refined, easy-drinking red for just $9.99
- This refined Pinot Noir is steeped in tart red fruit flavors, from cherry to raspberry, with a toasty touch of spice from 14 months of aging in French oak.
- Angels helped Richard select his choice of Pinot from vineyards set in Clarksburg, within the Sacramento Delta, where afternoon breezes from the San Francisco Bay help thin-skinned fruit like Pinot Noir ripen at just the right pace to capture every complex layer of flavor.
- This easy-sipping red is a delight all on its own, but to make a feast out of it, pair a glass (or two) with some crispy duck, Richard’s personal favorite.
Best before
This wine will age well for 7-12 years, but will also taste delicious as soon as it reaches your table.
Serving advice
Open and pour. If you age it for 10+ years you should decant it or at least let it air out and breathe before diving in.
Food match
I love this wine with crispy duck breast or duck confit.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Richard Bruno
Years Angel-funded: 2013-2023
- Richard Bruno is exactly what we love in a winemaker– the quiet achiever behind the scenes at some of the world's most famous wine brands. He's made wine for Francis Ford Coppola and Don Sebastiani, the latter of which was named Winery of the Year TWICE under his watch.
- During his decades making wine for famous wineries and earning them 90+ scores, he has traveled all up and down California's coastal wine regions. His experience and familiarity with the terrain allow him to sniff out the best-bang-for-buck pretty much anywhere in the state.
- Launching one's wine brand is hard and expensive, so Richard is using Angel funding – and he's able to focus on winemaking, instead of selling wine.
