1924 Port Barrel Aged Pinot Noir

The year was 1924. It was the heart of the Prohibition Era and wine’s darkest hour when it was outlawed and deemed unconstitutional. It was also the year the Delicato family first planted vineyards in California and farmed grapes that were sold to friends and neighbors. During an era of gangsters and bootleggers, port-style wines proved to be a favorite at speakeasies across the country. In honor of that bold time, two once-forbidden favorites come together to inspire this Port Barrel Aged Pinot Noir. For more info, visit 1924 by Delicato Family Wines website.
