100

Here at Cree Wine Company we don’t just dole out these top scores willy-nilly, this is serious business! After tasting dozens of thin, green, tart, and some downright unpleasant pinots, this wine has earned its 100 Points with its incredible, overachieving quality and a very affordable price. We simply love this wine, and you will too!

“Medium ruby purple hue, lovely aromas of dark and red cherry fruit, soft, ripe and balanced on the palate, medium bodied with an encore of cherry / raspberry fruit into the finish. You really can’t ask for more at this price!”

A Unicorn wine

Good California Pinot Noir for under $25 is a challenge to find to say the least. It’s so hard we refer to it as a “unicorn wine”. We taste dozens every year, only to be disappointed again and again.

But the 2023 Bacchus Pinot simply blows the competition away, and does it at an amazing low price.

Why is this wine so good?

The Bacchus story starts with one person, David Gordon. David was one of New York’s first recognized sommeliers, and the person responsible for the Wine Spectator Grand Award-winning wine list at Manhattan’s famed Tribeca Grill restaurant. While the restaurant sold expensive wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Rhone, David was always unhappy with the quality of inexpensive “house wines” available for the restaurant.

So he set out to meet that demand with a genuine product that would deliver consistent quality.

“I started the Bacchus line as a fun, cool thing to do,” says Gordon. “There really weren't any wines associated with sommeliers at the time. Now there are many, but these were definitely among the first. I named the wine after the person I worship - Bacchus.”

In the beginning, Gordon sourced the wines from his friends in Napa and Sonoma. Producers such as Caymus, Lewis Cellars, and Miner Family provided grapes and helped with the winemaking for the early cuvées.

Gordon has kept to his original promise that wines with the Bacchus label will always be affordable and delicious. “People want ripe fruit and a clean taste that’s not too oaky or tannic,” he says. The wines are refreshing, they can be drunk as an aperitif before dinner or with a meal."

This wine captures David’s goal in spades, and does at a ridiculously low price! Cheers! Chris Cree, Master of wine
