Theopolis vineyard founder, Theodora Lee, also known as “Theo-Patra, Queen of the Vineyards,” is known for her award-winning Pinot Noir and Petite Sirah. Only 85 cases remain of her impressive 2019 100 percent Pinot Noir that emits subtle aromas of red plum, orange zest, cranberry, and green strawberry. The energetic, medium-bodied palate bursts with concentrated red-fruited layers that shift into a savory, spice-tinged finish. This wine over-performs for the price. Stock your cellar to ensure you have a bottle on hand!
