Three Thieves Pinot Noir

This is the true story of the Three Thieves: the Master (Joel Gott), the Hustler (Charles Bieler), and the Dreamer (Roger Scommegna) – three rogue wine lovers whose 20-year kinship was sparked by a shared desire to make uncommon wine to be shared by all. The trio’s first wine—a convention-shattering Zinfandel in a retro glass jug with a screw cap—was bottled in 2001. Seemingly overnight, a cult following was born. Since then, the guys have collaborated on projects they are passionate about, bringing quality fruit, unmatched energy and a sense of soul to every bottle of wine they craft.

The Thieves believe that a great Pinot Noir is a reward unto itself. To craft a wine that showcases the varietal’s most beautiful qualities, the wine is gently fermented and infused with a touch of French and American oakto lend body and support to the bright cherry and berry flavors. For additional structure, a small amount of Syrah and Petite Sirah were included in the blend.

Beautiful violet and fresh cherry aromas lead to raspberry and juicy cherry flavors with hints of berry jam and toasty oak on the palate. This medium-bodied Pinot Noir is a generous, fruity wine with a silky texture balanced by mouthwatering acidity—it’s the kind of wine that can turn a rough, rugged Thief into a gentleman.

Red Wine:

Bringing out the best aromas and flavors of red wine can be achieved through the correct storage of temperature, generally between 50 to 55 degrees. Of course, this is a general rule of thumb as it depends on the grapes used when producing wine. There are so many health benefits due to the tannin. Procyanidins are a type of condensed tannin that is found in green tea and dark chocolate. Speaking of health young red wines are better than old as they have more tannin. However, as red wine ages, they become lighter. Very old wines are translucent and pale.

Vitis vinifera originating from Eastern Europe makes up most of the common varieties of red wine. The aromas of red wine come from grapes only. Cherry, berry, jam, and herbs are all from fermented grapes and wine aging in oak barrels. Pretty simple for such a rich, complex, and tasteful wine!
