    Reader favorite Writer's Block is back with a Bulk Buy rated Pinot Noir for just $13.25 a bottle! Save over $10 a bottle with our one day Insider Deal on the Writer's Block Pinot Noir.

    INSIDER DEAL! Writer's Block Pinot Noir - Super Satisfying

    We've offered a number of wines from Writer's Block here in the past and every one of them has been a big hit. Today we might have topped them all with a Pinot Noir for well under $15 a bottle.

    This wine comes from the underrated Lake County in California and spends 12 months in French, American and Hungarian oak barrels (15% new) and has virtually no residual sugar (0.12 g/L).

    It has an SRP of $24 and only 850 cases of this 2017 vintage were produced.

    Through today's deal you get 4 bottles of the 2017 Writer's Block Pinot Noir for $52.99, or just $13.25 a bottle. That's a savings of over $10 a bottle or 45%!

    This 4-Pack deal ships to: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, IA, IL, IN, KS, MA, MD, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, ND, NE, NM, NV, NY, OK, OR, PA, RI, TX, VA, VT, WA, WV and WI. (These states are dependent on the individual licenses of the offering winery. Future deals may have more or less states available.)

    This is a limited time, winery direct offer facilitated by our friends at Wine Country Connect. Sale ends Tuesday 6/15/2021 at noon (PT) unless it sells out sooner. Summer shipping is a flat $10 per order no matter how many 4-packs you buy.

    Clicking on the buy button above will take you to the site winedealmaker.com for checkout. If you don't see the embedded buy box click here to order. Once there you can also adjust the quantity of 4-packs in your order by using the "Click To Update Cart" link at the top of the screen.

    2017 Writer's Block Pinot Noir

    From the winery:

    The oak is light and the tannins soft, this wine shows with aromas and flavors of dark cherries, ripe red raspberry, finishing with notes of brown sugar. We age the wine in French oak barrels for 12 months of which about 10% are new. The wine is fermented in a stainless-steel tank, and smaller fermentation bins as we utilize both cool and warm fermentation temperatures with these vineyards. We fermented this wine using native yeast.

    Food Pairings: This Pinot Noir pairs nicely with grilled pork tenderloin, roasted duck breast with a cherry reduction, or try with a bacon and gruyere quiche.

    Produced & Bottled by QMS Group
    13.5% Alcohol

    2017 Writer's Block Pinot Noir Back Label

    The 2017 Writer's Block Pinot Noir begins with lots of red and black cherry plus some very attractive aromas of cola and spice.

    Taking a sip reveals a fruity, juicy, uncomplicated but extremely satisfying Pinot Noir. It is medium-bodied with nice light touches of oak and baking spice throughout and quite smooth. Even at the SRP of $24 this wine is a bargain.

    It ends dry and long. This is definitely Bulk Buy material at this low price!
