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.

Friends since school, Anthony Aubert & Jean-Charles Mathieu challenged themselves to create a range of wines in their image, by bringing a touch of originality and modernity to their cuvées.
