From the Huichica Creek Vineyard on the Napa Valley side of Carneros, today’s deal saves you 60% on the 95-Point 2022 Marchelle Fourth Act Pinot Noir! This one is perfect for Thanksgiving.
Normally retailing for $65 a bottle, this is high end Pinot Noir made by winemakers Greg La Follette and Evan Damiano. It’s so good, it received a 95-point score from the American Fine Wine Competition.
That’s no surprise for a Pinot Noir from Greg, who is also one of the founders of Marchelle. If you’re not familiar with him, here’s a bit more about his incredible background:
Known throughout the wine world as a “vine whisperer,” “cellar magician,” and tireless coaxer and protector of his handcrafted wines. A former seminarian and biochemist with degrees in Plant Biology and Chemistry, he was an early AIDS researcher at the University of California San Francisco before earning his masters degree in Food Science and Technology at the University of California Davis. It was at Davis that Greg became fascinated with “mouth feel” and literally tore wines apart, determined to decode the chemical riddles of taste and texture, especially in Burgundian styles of Pinot noir and chardonnay.
Furthering his pursuit, in 1991, Greg moved to Napa’s Beaulieu Vineyards, where, as research viticulturist, he fell under the mentorship of André Tchelistcheff, considered the godfather of California winemakers.
Greg has designed and redesigned fourteen wineries worldwide and was the consulting winemaker for the University of California Davis’ “teaching winery”. He has consulted for Kendall-Jackson, starting its La Crema and Hartford Court brands. Later he launched Flowers, turning it into a cult brand, featuring its gravity-flow “green” production facility that is still considered state of the art. He went on to manage wine operations at DeLoach, and founded Tandem Wines that he produced in a converted apple processing plant in Sebastopol, California. Following his tenure at the award-winning brand that bears his name, La Follette Wines, Greg now presides over the winemaking and viticulture at Marchelle Wines, which he co-founded with his business partner Kevin Lee.
In other words, this very small production Pinot Noir (just 325 cases produced) is absolutely top notch, so it’s no surprise that it normally retails for $65 a bottle. But you won’t pay anywhere near that price through today’s deal…
For the next day you can get 3 bottles of the 2022 Marchelle Fourth Act Pinot Noir for just $77.95 ($25.98/bottle). That’s a discount of 60% saving you $117!

And now on to our review:
The 2022 Marchelle Fourth Act Pinot Noir opens with pleasing aromas of black cherry, lovely violet notes plus a little lavender, touches of cranberry, forest floor and tomato plant and just a hint of baking spice and herbs. It’s a wonderful, classic start.
Taking a sip reveals a very smooth wine that has all the same complex touches as the nose although the fruit is juicy and a bit darker in the mouth. Nicely balanced and with plenty of acidity, this light to medium-bodied Pinot is very easy to drink and enjoy.
It ends dry, long, juicy and with just a touch of tannins and was just as good, if not slightly better, on day 2. This is the perfect Thanksgiving splurge!

“I am very much enjoying the wines I have been getting from you. I have discontinued all other wine services as the quality of the wines you select seem superior to what I was receiving elsewhere.”
“That’s tremendous…I wish I had tripled my order.”
“I’ve bought a ridiculous amount of wine from your deals in the last year…I just want to say that I really appreciate what you guys have done with RWS. I discovered your site looking up Costco wine reviews and have been hooked on your insider deals ever since. I’ve been referring every friend I know.”
“I recently took advantage of your offer. So glad I did, and now sorry I did not buy more (like all those quotes on your website!)”
