Includes:

• Passion for Pinot (Hardcover): A Journey Through America's Pinot Noir Country
  By Jordan Mackay with photography from Robert Holmes and . 159 pages, $30 Value.

• DeLoach Central Coast Pinot Noir
  The mouthwatering flavors of strawberries and Bing cherries greet the front of your palate and extend to the more herbal tastes of black tea intermingled with spearmint towards the back of the palate.

• DeLoach Russian River Estate Pinot Noir
  Enticing red berry fruit aromas blend with rhubarb and cola. Delicate notes of anise and baking spices lace the fruit to unfold a rich palate of black cherries supported by medium-fine-grained tannins. The finish lingers with attractive subtle toasty undertones, fine acid, and excellent balance.

• DeLoach Van der Kamp Vineyard Pinot Noir
  Offering enticing aromas of cran-raspberry, baking spices, hints of pine duff and eucalyptus, this wine is lifted and bright on the nose. The palate entry brings distinct minerality traced by notes of sarsaparilla, plum, dark cherry clove and pronounced, yet silky tannins which broaden through the finish.
