This 2018 edition of Della’s best-barrel reserve Pinot is an exceptional experience that sumptuous Pinot enthusiasts are going to adore. The flashy bouquet displays with intense notes of Morello cherries, rhubarb, raspberry pie, and Christmas spices. A tour de force, this exquisite Pinot Noir flaunts silky smooth waves of monumentally delicious dark berries, black plum, oolong tea, cranberry, hints of vanilla oak and then culminates in a 40 second finish. Worthy of 98 points now and well on the path towards 99 points over the next 3 – 5 years. Enjoy through 2027+. Decanting recommended prior to 2024.

Domaine Della Winery

David Hejl is the proprietor and winemaker for Domaine Della and former General
Manager and CEO of Kosta Browne Winery. David left Kosta Browne in 2015, as the
value creation successfully led to a sale, to pursue his own luxury wine label.

Domaine Della began as a dream, born from David’s obsession and enchantment with
Pinot Noir and realized from the shared vision of his fellow founders, sister and
brother-in-law Lee and Ernie LeRoy. Domaine Della honors their mother who died long
before her time; he is one of eleven growing up in Nebraska. David’s passion for fine
wine began while putting himself through school working as a waiter, sommelier and
chef, but found his true inspiration while living in Paris working for Nabisco. It was
there that he experienced first-hand the art of wine, food and culture in a way that was
spiritual, all in the beautiful City of Light.

David has been a student of fine wine and food his whole life and from his perspective,
has been training for this role for three decades. Having traveled around the world
nearly 50 times on international assignments and visiting every major wine region in
the world, each of these adventures was never complete without discovering and
enjoying the local food, wines and culture.

David has been crafting truly distinctive Pinot Noir since 2009 and introduced his wines
commercially with the inaugural 2012 vintage released in 2014. Domaine Della’s
mission is to craft intense and adventurous wines, partnering with the very best
growers, a true expression in harmony and balance from the place where it was grown.
