One of the Rarest Pinots in the US

One of the Rarest Pinots in the Country

For the first time in our short history, we have been able to spend the entire year selling T. Solomon Wellborn Pinot Noir. Up until this year, our annual allocation of this wine was a meager 5-10 cases PER YEAR. Unfortunately, only 100 cases of the 2009 T. Solomon Wellborn were produced and they are not going to sell the wine outside of California (Booo!). To ease our pain (and yes, there was a fair amount of pain), the fine people at Tantara have released what was left of the 2008 vintage to all of you, the wonderful customers at winestore. Only 100 cases are coming our way (and then it's lights out until October 2012) so if you are a T. Solomon fan, this is your chance to get a little stockpile going.

What is the story behind the T. Solomon label? Well, as you may know, Tantara Winery has an impeccable reputation as being one of California's premier Pinot Noir producers. Its flagship wine Evelyn’s Cuvee, priced at a not so friendly $80 per bottle is cherished by Pinot Noir aficionados around the nation. After selecting the barrels that go into its single-vineyard Pinot program – Pisoni, La Colline, Rio Vista (bottlings that range in price from $40 to $70 each) -- there will be a small number left over that just don’t quite make the "cut". If there are enough of them to make a few hundred cases, winemaker Jeffrey Fink bottles them under the T. Solomon Wellborn label. Director of Sales Ernie Vandegrift, over the last four years, has allowed winestore. to be the only retailer outside of California to sell this wine (and one of only two in the USA).

So there you have it...enjoy this last little bit of one of our absolute favorites! Hopefully we'll get some 2010 T. Solomon next year!!
